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.

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.

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.

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.
