Al Nassr 'robs' Barcelona man

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona Sports Vice President Rafa Yuste is facing a major turning point in his career when he accepted an invitation to become CEO from Al Nassr.

Mr. Yuste is about to join Al Nassr.

After the Asian tour, Mr. Yuste will soon return to Spain to support Sports Director Deco in transfer deals, having just conducted final negotiations with Al Nassr representatives. Goal confirmed that Mr. Yuste is close to the possibility of working in the Middle East.

This will be a big loss for Barcelona. Mr. Yuste has been a central figure in the Catalan team's sports apparatus since March 2021, and is also a trusted right-hand man of President Joan Laporta. The departure of this "big boss" could cause major disruption to the team rebuilding plan that Deco is undertaking.

Although he has not made a final decision, the attractive offer of both money and power at Al Nassr has made Mr. Yuste seriously consider between his career ambitions and his loyalty to Barca. In case he leaves Camp Nou, academy director Joan Soler is a strong candidate to take over the position, having been considered for the role since last year.

In a turbulent period, Barca will need to quickly find a replacement to ensure continuity in sports strategy, as well as internal stability in the extremely stressful 2025 summer transfer window.

Al Nassr, after making a splash with a host of stars on the pitch, is now looking to expand its influence at the top level, and Yuste could be the next piece in that puzzle.
