After weeks of uncertainty surrounding the Saudi club’s ability to register new players, the latest developments suggest the Portuguese midfielder’s arrival is now moving rapidly toward an official announcement. Cristiano Ronaldo could soon have a new midfield partner at Al-Nassr, with Samu Costa’s long-awaited move from Mallorca finally appearing to be on the verge of completion. After weeks of uncertainty surrounding the Saudi club’s ability to register new players, the latest developments suggest the Portuguese midfielder’s arrival is now moving rapidly toward an official announcement. For much of the summer, Al-Nassr’s transfer plans had been complicated by financial restrictions that prevented the club from formally completing previously agreed deals. That situation appears to have changed, with Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah reporting that the club has completed the procedures required to lift the restrictions and resume its recruitment activity. The breakthrough is particularly important because Al-Nassr had reportedly reached an agreement with Real Mallorca in July for Samu Costa. However, the transfer could not immediately be registered because of the financial monitoring imposed on the Saudi champion. According to Al-Riyadiyah, the restrictions have now been lifted, allowing the team to move forward with the registration of new players. The development effectively removes the biggest obstacle standing between Costa and his move to Riyadh. The club’s financial problems had become a major issue during the offseason, with reports claiming that Al-Nassr accumulated liabilities exceeding $280 million. The restructuring process involved the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Al-Nassr Club Company, and efforts to reorganize existing financial commitments. Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr celebrates with the Saudi Pro League Trophy. Samu Costa announcement date emerges The latest update now gives a much clearer picture of when supporters could finally see the transfer made official. Former Al-Nassr legal department manager Saad Al-Subaie revealed that the league sent approval for Samu Costa on Sunday morning, meaning the club can now submit the documentation to the Professionalism Committee. Al-Subaie also provided an indication of when the announcement could arrive. According to his update, Al-Nassr’s official account is expected to announce the Samu Costa deal within the next 72 hours. Cristiano Ronaldo #7 and Samu Costa #24 during Portugal’s training session. That would bring the Portuguese midfielder closer to becoming the Knight of Najd’s first summer signing after the club finally overcame the financial restrictions that had delayed its recruitment plans. Another Saudi journalist, Abdulaziz Al-Osaimi, also reported that Costa is expected to arrive in Riyadh within the next two days. The timing adds another layer of intrigue to the move, as Al-Nassr is already preparing for the start of the new campaign. The club begins its Saudi Pro League season against Al-Fateh, while it also has ambitions of defending its domestic crown and making another serious push in the AFC Champions League Elite. Costa would fill major midfield vacancy Costa’s arrival would address an important need in the squad following the departure of Marcelo Brozovic. The Croatian midfielder left Al-Nassr after his contract expired at the end of last season, leaving the club with a significant vacancy in the center of the pitch. Costa, who has established himself as an important midfielder at Real Mallorca, would offer another option in an area that needs greater depth. His arrival could become one of the first major pieces of Al-Nassr’s squad rebuild after the club’s financial restrictions were eased. The Portuguese midfielder is also arriving at a fascinating point in the club’s development. Ronaldo remains the centerpiece of Al-Nassr’s project, while the club is looking to surround its captain with enough quality to compete on multiple fronts.

Ronald Araujo will be part of Liverpool next season, after arriving on loan from Barcelona. Ronald Araujo has joined Liverpool on loan from Barcelona for the 2026-27 season, with a verbal agreement between the two clubs reached on Friday and approved by Barcelona sporting director Deco. The Uruguayan defender is set to undergo his medical on August 8 before the move is finalized. The deal is structured as a season-long loan that includes an option, but not an obligation, for Liverpool to sign Araujo permanently at its conclusion. That setup allows the Reds to evaluate his fitness and form, which dipped following a 2024 injury setback, before committing to a longer-term deal, while also giving Barcelona breathing room on their salary cap to register the rest of their squad for the season. Araujo‘s departure comes after he fell down Barcelona’s defensive pecking order despite being one of the club’s four captains. Eric Garcia, Gerard Martin, and Pau Cubarsi have established themselves as Hansi Flick’s preferred center-backs, while Jules Kounde remains first-choice at right-back. The 27-year-old, who debuted for Barcelona in 2019 and has made 213 appearances with 14 goals, still holds a contract at the club through 2031 after renewing in January 2025. 🚨🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool agree loan deal to sign Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, HERE WE GO! 🇺🇾Verbal agreement club to club with Barça now approved by director Deco.New centre back for #LFC with a surprise bomba. pic.twitter.com/kK4GIifmff— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 7, 2026 For Liverpool, the move addresses an urgent need at the back. The club lost Ibrahima Konate to Real Madrid on a free transfer, and head coach Andoni Iraola has been dealing with injuries to Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet, prompting him to request defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes. Barcelona looking to reinforce defense after Araujo’s exit Araujo’s departure could coincide with Barcelona strengthening the very position that pushed him down the pecking order in the first place. The club is reportedly closing in on a two-year deal for Joao Cancelo, who would arrive from Al-Hilal for around €10 million. Should the move go through, Flick would have two established options at right-back between Cancelo and Kounde, further reducing the need for Araujo as defensive cover on that side and reinforcing the logic behind sending him out on loan.
