Saudi Arabian club Al-Nasr, home to Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, have found a replacement for defensive midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who left the club as a free agent this summer. According to an inside source on social media, Fabrizio Romano, the Riyadh club has reached an agreement to sign Spanish Real Mallorca midfielder Samo Costa.
According to the source, Ronaldo's 25-year-old compatriot has agreed to move to Al-Nasr, despite an official offer from German club RB Leipzig. Costa has played seven games for the Portuguese national team. In the summer of 2026, he participated in the 2026 World Cup. The midfielder played one game in the tournament, coming on as a 20-minute substitute in a 0-0 draw with Colombia in the third round of the group stage.
