According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr is pursuing its third marquee signing of the transfer window and has opened negotiations with Bayern Munich.
Al Nassr are making a strong push to build a super team around Cristiano Ronaldo as they aim to improve on last season’s Saudi Pro League campaign, which saw them finish third—13 points behind champions Al Ittihad and five points back of second-place Al Hilal.
Managed by Jorge Jesus, the club has already made headlines this summer by landing veteran defender Iñigo Martinez from Barcelona on a deal worth $10 million per season. And before even officially unveiling him, Al Nassr are reportedly closing in on an even bigger addition.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi club has begun negotiations with Bayern Munich to sign Kingsley Coman, the 29-year-old French winger who won the UEFA Champions League and has been with the German giants since 2015. Coman is under contract with Bayern until June 2027.
While financial details remain undisclosed, Al Nassr are believed to have submitted an offer to both Bayern and Coman, who began his career at Paris Saint-Germain before also playing for Juventus.
Transfermarkt currently values the winger at €30 million, a figure expected to be close to Al Nassr’s bid. The Saudi club is reportedly preparing a contract offer worth well above $10 million per year to lure him to Riyadh.
João Felix already on board
Before securing Martinez and pursuing Coman, Al Nassr made another splash in late July by signing João Felix from Chelsea following his loan spell with AC Milan. The Portuguese star already played for Al Nassr in the pre-season friendly against Rio Ave, where he shined by delivering two assists.
According to Portuguese outlet Record, the deal involved a €30 million fee plus performance-based bonuses that could raise the total to €50 million. Félix reportedly signed a contract worth $35 million per year.
