72 Hours After Running Out of Time, 2 Players Ditch Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr as Key Positions Remain Vacant

With just a couple of weeks left in the ongoing Saudi transfer window, Al Nassr who owns Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly starting to get desperate. The side has been trying to bolster its squad with some domestic talent but has failed in its endeavors. Ronaldo’s side has managed to bag some crucial overseas names for the upcoming season, but the team still needs some local talent in their ranks.

The last seventy-two hours have seen Al Nassr miss out on the signings of both Abdullah Al-Ammar and Raghed Al Najjar. Despite the side trying to dish out some big money deals for the duo, the team has failed to land the signings, leaving them vulnerable in two crucial positions.

Al Nassr fails to land top domestic signings

Al Nassr has been left in a dire need to make some domestic signings after the side spent the entire transfer window landing European superstars. The team tried to secure the signing of Abdullah Al-Ammar from Damak Club, but it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo’s side had to return empty-handed.

Damak Club was reluctant to sell Abdullah Al-Ammar, with the club demanding $20 million for his services. However, Al Nassr could not meet the team’s demands, which broke down the negotiations between the two sides. Similar to the Abdullah Al-Ammar case, Al Nassr has also failed to secure the services of Raghed Al Najjar.

The side was looking to secure the services of the two to strengthen their defense. Al Najjar could have been a good shot-stopping option for the side. However, the team will now have to turn their focus to other candidates to reinforce the camp.

Al Nassr have started the season slowly under Cristiano Ronaldo

While Cristiano Ronaldo has done a decent job with Al Nassr this season, the team has yet to find its footing in the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr is currently positioned 6th on the points table after 5 games and will have to put in the effort if they wish to climb to the top.

It will be interesting to see if Cristiano Ronaldo can inspire the team to turn things around. With the season just starting, the side has ample time on their hands to climb up the rankings, but the team will surely face stiff competition in the process.
