Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr were once again active in the transfer market this past summer, pushing to strengthen their already star-studded squad with new signings.
The club’s owners showed little hesitation when it came to spending, underlining their ambition to elevate the project to the next level. Even with Cristiano Ronaldo still among the starters, Al Nassr’s wait for a major trophy continued.
Head coach Jorge Jesus opted to shake up his starting XI with fresh additions rather than relying solely on the same core group of players. The strategy was clear: the squad needed reinforcements capable of mounting a genuine challenge against Al Hilal and Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.
Several positions were upgraded, reflecting the club’s intent to close the gap on their biggest domestic rivals. As the transfer market closed, questions still lingered over the long-term future of Ronaldo, but Al Nassr’s summer business showed their determination to keep world-class talent flowing into the side.
Here, we take a look at Al Nassr’s top deals of the 2025 summer transfer window.

1 Al Nassr new signings Summer 20252 Al Nassr confirmed arrivals Summer 2025 – Full list3 Al Nassr confirmed departures Summer 20254 Al Nassr transfer window rating: Grade A5 Retrospective: Al Nassr new signings in the January 2025 transfer windowAbdulmalik Al-Jaber, previously playing for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Zeljeznicar, was introduced as a new Al Nassr player on June 2. The transfer fee has been undisclosed.
Al-Jaber signing grade: B
Al-Jaber has provided healthy competition in the middle of the park, and at just 21 years of age, he has plenty of potential.
Joao Felix (Chelsea)
Al Nassr's statement signing of the summer transfer window was the purchase of Joao Felix for a reported fee of £44m, including add-ons. The Portugal international attacker joined with a big reputation from Premier League side Chelsea.
Felix signing grade: A
Felix was once a player worth over £100m, and he certainly has the quality to take Al Nassr to the next level. Having played with Ronaldo for the national team, it is certainly an exciting strike force.
Al Nassr also completed the signing of experienced Spanish central defender Inigo Martinez on a free transfer after he left La Liga giants Barcelona after the 2024/25 campaign.
Martinez signing grade: A
To get a player of Martinez's quality and experience for free is great business, and Al Nassr will be hoping that he can guide them to the title.
Nader Al-Sharari (Al Shabab)
Al Nassr also recruited within the Saudi Pro League by bringing in another central defender in Nader Al-Sharari from Al Shabab.
Al-Sharari signing grade: B
Al-Sharari knows the Saudi Pro League well, and has also provided healthy competition in the centre of defence.
Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich)
Al Nassr signed experienced French winger Kingsley Coman from reigning champions Bayern Munich for a reported transfer fee of around £21.6m.
Coman signing grade: A
Very much like Felix, Coman was a quality player in European football, and has no doubt helped elevate Al Nassr's levels.

Al Nassr made a number of quality additions to their squad, and have replaced the departed Jhon Duran adequately. Both Felix and Coman especially are standout signings who, alongside Ronaldo, could finally fire them to the Saudi Pro League title.

In an ambitious financial operation, the club’s men in charge opted to sign Duran from Aston Villa. The Premier League side received a mind-boggling £66.4m transfer fee for their player’s services, but was loaned out to Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce in the summer transfer window, proving to be an unsuccessful purchase.
