Saudi football continues to lure top European talent, with stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr., and Sadio Mane making the move from European clubs to the Saudi Professional League. Al-Nassr, one of the league's top teams and currently led by Ronaldo, has had a tough season, facing disappointing results and a rocky start to the local championship, which has raised concerns both on and off the field.
To turn their fortunes around, Al-Nassr is reportedly eyeing a major defensive signing. According to "Fichajes," Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos, who recently left Sevilla and is now a free agent, is a prime candidate to join the club. Ramos, with a storied career that includes World and European titles with Spain and numerous trophies with Real Madrid, is seen as a key figure who could bolster Al-Nassr’s defense.
Ramos's potential addition could significantly enhance the team's defensive strength, provide a competitive boost, and further elevate the league's profile. However, while Al-Nassr is eager to secure Ramos, there is some uncertainty as he and his representatives are also exploring opportunities in Major League Soccer, attracted by the lifestyle in the U.S.
Ramos is keen to continue his football career but is looking for a less demanding role. His decision on whether to join Al-Nassr or pursue other options will be made in the coming weeks, determining whether he will lead the Saudi club’s defense or if Al-Nassr will need to consider alternative options.
