Al Nassr is currently undergoing a full-scale restructuring both on and off the field. The only constants at the moment appear to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s dominant leadership and a coaching change, with Jorge Jesus — who recently coached rivals Al Hilal — taking the reins. Everything else remains uncertain.
Names continue to surface as part of the club’s revamp, and the latest is Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella, who has emerged as a potential target for the Saudi side. Al Nassr is reportedly preparing a lucrative offer that could be hard to turn down for the Spaniard, whose stock has risen significantly under new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.
Despite Chelsea’s deep roster, the left-back position is not particularly crowded, with Cucurella and Ben Chilwell as the only natural options. This contrasts with the club’s abundance of center-backs and midfielders, increasing the likelihood that Cucurella could be sold for the right price.
Al Nassr is also in talks to sign João Félix as they work to build a squad aligned with Ronaldo’s ambitions. The club is not just looking to strengthen the team but also to re-energize a fanbase that has grown frustrated with recent poor results — especially as Al Hilal and Al Ittihad continue to pull ahead.
