Overview

• Jorge Jesus oversaw Al Nassr’s 5-2 preseason win over SK St. Johann as he rested Cristiano Ronaldo to manage the veteran’s workload after his UEFA Nations League duty.
• Ronaldo is set to make his first appearance under Jesus in a friendly against Toulouse at the Untersberg-Arena on July 30.
• Al Nassr has entered advanced talks with Chelsea for João Félix and aims to complete the €44–50 million permanent deal within two days.
• Initial negotiations between Benfica and Chelsea collapsed over financial terms, creating an opening for Al Nassr’s late bid for Félix.
• Club officials, including Jesus and Ronaldo, reportedly helped persuade Félix to join the Saudi side as part of Al Nassr’s plan to bolster its attack for the 2025–26 season.
