Squad

A falling-out at Al-Nassr

Marcelo Brozović and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Abdulelah Al-Amri

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Al-Nassr told Abdulelah Al-Amri something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nawaf Al-Aqidi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nawaf Al-Aqidi, and the manager let it.

Market

Samú linked with a move away

The name of Samú keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Al-Nassr say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

When it matters, Ângelo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Mohammed Marran knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Al-Nassr, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Loan watch

Haroune Camara keeps scoring at Al-Shabab

5 appearances away from home and 3 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

The penny has dropped for Samú

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at Al-Nassr the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

Looking ahead

Al-Nassr host Hajer

Next up at home: Hajer, who go into it in position 13. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

Market

Business is business: João Félix goes

Celta paid $60.6M and Al-Nassr took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Fashion Sakala is a medical away from Al-Nassr

The deal with Al-Fayha is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

The terraces

A $60.6M sale, and a town that did not want it

João Félix has gone, the accounts have $60.6M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Player ratings

Vintage Marcelo Brozović — 8.19

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.19, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market

Mohammed Marran asks to leave Al-Nassr

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Al-Saudi Al-Watani come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al-Nassr did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Sami Al-Naji moves on

Al-Fateh pay $2.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al-Nassr

Marcelo Brozović and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Al-Nassr come up short against Al-Khaleej

Al-Khaleej left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
