Al Nassr Saudi Arabia is close to signing a Brazilian goalkeeper to replace Bento

Reports have revealed that the management of Al Nassr Saudi Arabia is closely monitoring Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel Brazao, in preparation for signing him during the upcoming winter transfer window, to be a substitute for the current goalkeeper Bento.

The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus wants to bring in a new foreign goalkeeper after the disappointing performance of Bento's team, which has prompted the management to look for a distinguished option to strengthen the goalkeeping position. The website "antenadosnofutebol" clarified that Brazao, a player for Santos in Brazil, has attracted attention with his outstanding performance, which caught the eye of Jesus, who is considered one of the most interested in signing him in 2026.

Reports indicate that Santos' management will not easily part with their goalkeeper, as he is currently one of the best goalkeepers in Brazil, and negotiations will only open for at least 20 million euros, despite the player's market value being around 8 million euros.

Gabriel Brazao is 25 years old and moved to Santos in February 2024 from Inter Milan on a free transfer. Al Nassr currently tops the Saudi Pro League with 12 points from 4 rounds, leading by two points over Al Qadisiyah in second place.
