Al-Nassr is set to boost their squad following rival Saudi Arabian clubs acquiring marquee European players such as Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy.

The Riyadh-based club finished second in the league last season despite acquiring one of the greatest players of all time Cristiano Ronaldo.

The club is waiting for defensive midfielder Marcelo Brozovic's green light to move to Riyadh, as they already agreed to a $25 million fee with his club Inter Milan. The Croatian is one of the best in the world in his position.

Former Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech has been confirmed to team up with Cristiano Ronaldo for the upcoming Saudi Premier League season. The Moroccan will remain in the club until 2026.

More European Stars Linked With Al-Nassr Move

The biggest name to be linked with the Saudi Arabian club is Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann, who scored 16 goals for the Spanish side in all competitions last season. The French star has a relatively bargain release clause of less than $28 million, which the Saudis could easily activate.

Midfielder Seko Fofana has also agreed to personal terms with Al-Nassr. The 28-year-old has played the last three seasons with French side Lens. It is now up to the two clubs to agree to a deal, and Lens reportedly want at least $43 million for Fofana.
