Al-Nassr Settles on Pinto's Future
The newspaper "Goal" revealed that Brazilian goalkeeper Pinto has completely fallen out of the plans of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr, who recommended releasing him during the current summer transfer window.
The Saudi newspaper "Okaz" reported that Jesus is leaning towards loaning Pinto, while relying on goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqeedi as the first choice to protect the goal of the Al-Nassr team in the new season.
The newspaper indicated that if an official agreement is reached on Pinto's departure on loan, Al-Nassr's management will start moving to sign a new foreign player, but this time in the defensive midfield position.
This approach comes as part of the coach's plan to restore balance to Al-Nassr's lineup, relying on a local primary goalkeeper, while utilizing the foreign player slot in another position that is more tactically needed.
It is worth noting that Al-Nassr has made several notable signings this summer, and the decision regarding the goalkeeping situation reflects the management and coaching staff's efforts to prepare a more stable team before the start of the season's competitions.
