Ronaldo's team builds 'super attack'

Al Nassr bet on attacking stars.

Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman will be the next attacking star to join Al Nassr this summer, with the Saudi Arabian club agreeing to pay €30 million for the French midfielder.

Before Coman, Al Nassr brought in Joao Felix for a fee of more than 45 million euros. The former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker will continue to play alongside his senior Cristiano Ronaldo as in the Portuguese national team.

In theory, Al Nassr possesses one of the most fearsome attacks in the Saudi Pro League. In addition to the rookie duo Coman and Felix, Al Nassr also has Ronaldo and Sadio Mane. After letting Jhon Duran join Fenerbahce on loan, the Al Nassr board has made quality replacements to prepare for the new season.

If he approaches the match with a 2-striker formation, coach Jorge Jesus can even put the 4 above-mentioned stars in the same lineup. Then, Ronaldo will play with Felix, while Mane and Coman will be the two wingers.

Ronaldo is still the leader of Al Nassr's attack.

Ronaldo will certainly be the leader of Al Nassr in the 2025/26 season. Last season, CR7 scored 27 goals in all competitions, an achievement unmatched by any teammate. The Portuguese superstar is expected to continue to explode next season.

Meanwhile, Mane is no longer as fit as when he played in Europe, but still managed to score 14 goals for Al Nassr last season. After two years playing with Ronaldo, the former Liverpool star has increasingly combined well with CR7.

As for Coman and Felix, both have not shown good form in the 2024/25 season. But with proven talent and playing in a low-pressure environment like the Saudi Pro League, Coman and Felix are expected to support striker Ronaldo well.

Coman alone possesses a good technical foundation and can play well on both wings, providing diverse attacking solutions for Al Nassr.

Al Nassr’s problem in recent years has been in midfield, when the team has always been inferior to clubs with solid midfields such as Al Hilal or Al Ittihad. Marcelo Brozovic alone cannot shoulder the big responsibility in the middle of the field. The task of new coach Jesus is to help Al Nassr solve this problem.

With quality new recruits like Coman and Felix, Al Nassr clearly shows its ambition to use its attacking power to solve the match. On August 19, Ronaldo and his teammates will play the National Super Cup semi-final against Al Ittihad. This is an opportunity for CR7 to win the first title since coming to the Middle East.
