By Omnia Osama— Al Nassr club has reached agreement with Atletico Paranaense club to sign the Brazilian Pinto Krepski.
The Brazilian club has agreed to sell its goalkeeper for €18 million during the current summer transfer market.
“I will fight to be part of the evolving Saudi Arabian league project” Pinto said to Monivillela channel.
Photos that went viral on social media have showed the Brazilian player on his way to Portugal to join the Luis Castro squad’s training camp in preparation for the new season.
The Saudi’s club has looked for replacement for Manchester City goal keeper, Ederson deal but the English club has rejected its Saudi counterpart € 30 million deal to sign Enderson. Since then, Al Nassr Management’ eyes were on Pinto Krepski.
Al Nassr club efforts to sign new goal keeper seek to protect its net after David Ospina’s departure.
The 26 years old player has been set on Ittihad management agenda but Al Nassr has succeeded to secure the deal in its favor.
Pinto is considered one of the world’s most talented goalkeepers. He was also on Inter Milan’s list to replace Yann Sommer this summer.
Beside the Brazilian star, Al Nassr club has signed a number of domestic stars with significant roles on the Saudi Arabia national side. Most notably, right-back Sultan Al-Ghannam has 27 international caps and played a significant role at the World Cup. Club captain Abdullah Madu has 15 caps of his own and saw minutes at the World Cup as well as midfielder Sami Al-Najei.
It is worth noting that Al Nassr market transfer agenda has taken its social media platform to higher level especially after Cristiano Ronaldo joined the Saudi club.
