Cristiano Ronaldo set to welcome new teammate as Al Nassr awaits 'final green light'
Cristiano Ronaldo could soon be sharing the dressing room with another European champion.
Al Nassr are reportedly closing in on Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, with the Saudi Pro League side just waiting for the “final green light” to complete the deal, as per Fabrizio Romano.

The Frenchman has already given his approval to join, according to several reports. That means the ball is now in Bayern’s court.
The Riyadh club has already upped its offer to around €25 million plus incentives, after seeing an earlier bid rejected. Some believe Bayern may hold out for closer to €35 million before signing off.
It’s no surprise Al Nassr are pushing hard. Coach Jorge Jesus has made Coman his top target after talks for Mason Greenwood collapsed.
With the new Saudi season approaching, adding a player who scored the winner in a Champions League final is a tempting way to raise the club’s attacking threat — and maybe sell a few extra shirts along the way.

Why Bayern might be willing to sell Kingsley Coman?
For Bayern, the move makes sense. The German champions signed Luis Diaz this summer and could be ready to cash in on Coman, who earns around €17 million a year and has struggled with injuries in recent seasons.
Offloading him now frees up space and funds for further transfers.
For Coman, the offer is hard to refuse. Reports (via Bild) suggest he could earn between €25–30 million per season in Riyadh — potentially double his current salary.
If the deal goes through, he will join a star-studded Saudi league that already boasts Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Moussa Diaby.
Al Nassr have already landed Joao Felix this summer, and pairing Coman with Ronaldo and Sadio Mane could make for one of the most dangerous forward lines outside Europe.
Fans might soon be asking defenders: who do you mark first?
The next few days could decide whether Coman trades in the Allianz Arena for Mrsool Park. As always in football, it’s not over until the whistle blows — or in this case, until the paperwork is signed.
