The Saudi Arabian league continues to grow and more and more top players are deciding to leave Europe to accept the multi-million dollar offers from Pro League clubs. One of the teams that signed the most players this summer is Al-Nassr. After finishing second last season, they have now invested a lot of money to surround Cristiano Ronaldo with stars. So far they have signed left-back Alex Telles, center-back Aymeric Laporte, holding midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and forwards Seko Fofana, Otavio and Sadio Mane.

 

However, these decisions have caused an unexpected problem: Al-Nassr have exceeded the maximum number of foreign players each squad can have. The Pro League allows up to 8 and they have 9. That is why in the next few days the Ivorian defender Konan and the Brazilian striker Anderson Talisca could leave.

In that case, a foreign spot will be freed up and the club's chiefs already have a possible signing in mind. According to VictoryFC1, it is Lucas Ocampos. The Argentine winger is one of Sevilla's stars and has played 4 games in the 2023/24 season, between La Liga and the European Super Cup against Manchester City.

But his departure from Spain will not be easy. Ocampos has a contract with Sevilla until June 30, 2025 and the Spanish side have no intention of getting rid of him, as he is a key part of the team for coach José Luis Mendilibar. In fact, this summer they rejected several offers from other clubs for him.

 

He would not be the first

Should Al-Nassr's interest in Lucas Ocampos be confirmed, he would join the list of Sevilla players who were targeted by Saudi Arabian teams this summer. Earlier Ivan Rakitic and Youssef En-Nesyri rejected offers, while goalkeeper Bono was signed by Al-Hilal.
