Jorge Jesus welcomes João Félix and Iñigo Martínez to Al-Nassr as the club seeks more big-name signings
Al-Nassr’s summer recruitment drive is in full swing, with manager Jorge Jesus set to count on João Félix and Iñigo Martínez as the latest reinforcements for the Saudi Pro League side. The club has already completed at least five signings in the current transfer window.
Félix, personally praised by Cristiano Ronaldo, has already made his debut, while Martínez, arriving from Barcelona, is expected to be unveiled soon. The Saudi giants are also targeting Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich to further bolster their attack.
Five Players Already Secured
In addition to Félix and Martínez, Al-Nassr has signed defenders Al-Sharari and Awad Aman, as well as midfielder Abdulmalik Al Jaber. These moves underline the club’s ambition to build a squad capable of competing domestically and in Asia, with Ronaldo as the spearhead.
Likely Starting XI for New Season
In a recent 4-0 friendly win over Rio Ave, Jesus experimented with different combinations. For the competitive season, the likely lineup is:
Bento; Simakan, Iñigo Martínez, Al-Najdi, Boushal (or Al-Ghanam); Wesley, Ângelo, Brozovic, Mané; João Félix; Cristiano Ronaldo.
New signings Aman and Al-Sharari may initially serve as rotational options rather than starters.
High-Profile Targets Still in Play
The recruitment push may not end there. Al-Nassr is monitoring Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, with Mason Greenwood also on the club’s radar. Further announcements are expected before the close of the transfer window.
With marquee names arriving and more potentially on the way, Al-Nassr is positioning itself as one of the most ambitious clubs in the Middle East, aiming to give Ronaldo a star-studded supporting cast.
