Transfers of the Saudi Trio in the 2024 Summer Transfer Market

Transfers of the Saudi Trio in the 2024 Summer Transfer Market

Al Nassr aims to strengthen its squad significantly by adding a handful of distinguished players to pursue their ambitions for the new season, where Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates hope to achieve championships. Despite many names being linked to a transfer to Al Nassr in the 2024 summer window, coach Luis Castro does not want any new deal to disrupt the team's harmony, so Al Nassr will take its time before making any transfers. No official transfers have been completed by Al Nassr yet, but they have seen the return of several players from loans established last season, including Sekou Fofana and Abdullah Madu, while waiting to determine their fate in the transfer market. Player Bento Matheus has joined from Atlético Paranaense for a fee of 18 million euros.

**Departures from Al Nassr:**

**Al Hilal** is also looking to enhance its squad with the addition of several distinguished players for the current season following a historic campaign in which the team performed exceptionally well. Although numerous names are being rumored for a transfer to Al Hilal in the 2024 summer window, coach Jorge Jesus is hesitant to disrupt the team's good form currently leading the Saudi Pro League, so Al Hilal will proceed cautiously before finalizing deals. No transfers have been completed by Al Hilal yet, but reports suggest that major names are being considered, including Luka Modric, even if he signs a new contract with Real Madrid, who do not want to lose their star for free. Additionally, Al Hilal is awaiting several of its loaned players back, notably Matheus Pereira, while coach Jesus decides on their fate.

**Departures from Al Hilal:**

**Al Ittihad** seeks to strengthen its squad by adding several distinguished players to help the team, led by Karim Benzema, pursue championship aspirations in the new season. However, many names are tied to a potential transfer to Al Ittihad in the 2024 summer window, and since the coaching situation remains contentious, no final decisions regarding roster changes can be confirmed at this time.

**Transfers of Al Ittihad:**

Al Ittihad has completed two deals so far, bringing in Hamid Al-Shanqeeti and Ahmed Al-Ghamdi, while awaiting further high-profile signings in the transfer market, particularly the anticipated deal for Belgian Romelu Lukaku.
