Al Nassr disappoint Cristiano & Guardiola is relieved, Ederson doesn’t join CR7 & the new goalkeeper Al Nassr signed

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to enjoy his break this summer with his family, but after that, he will be with the Al Nassr team to prepare for the upcoming season. Ronaldo and Al Nassr were disappointed this past season after not being able to win a major trophy ahead of Al Hilal. Ronaldo hopes the club make some important signings to improve next season, but they may have disappointed Ronaldo.

Al Nassr was looking to sign Ederson, the Manchester City goalkeeper from the Premier League. The Brazilian keeper has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he would surprise football fans if he joined Ronaldo at Al Nassr. Ederson was reportedly open to the move, but Al Nassr did not want to pay him a huge fee. Now, the club has signed a different Brazilian goalkeeper, which some did not expect.

Bento from Athl. Paranaense will arrive for a fee of just over $18 million. Fabrizio Romano reports that Bento’s contract at Al Nassr will be valid until June 2028. The Brazilian keeper already did his medicals a few days ago and will be the number-one keeper at the club.
