Al Nassr has emerged as one of the most popular clubs in the world as of late. Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival at the club has propelled the club to a massive limelight. The team looked to reward its fanbase in Europe with its reputation. According to recent reports, the team hopes to tour Europe during the off-season following their ongoing campaign.

Based on the recent tweet from Al Harbi, “Al-Nasr Saudi Club is considering holding its preparatory camp at the end of this season in more than one European country ‘out of sympathy with Al-Nasr fans on this continent’ and to fulfill the desire of the fans there and to satisfy the largest number of fans and lovers.”

The recent decision might have come after the Saudi Director of Sports shunned Al Nassr’s chances to play in the UEFA Champions League. Emenalo’s statement subsided with all the talks surrounding Al Nassr’s European dreams.
