Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr are reportedly targeting Ghanaian international Mohammed Kudus for a summer move, with a lucrative £84 million offer said to be on the table.
The move comes after an initial attempt to bring the former Ajax forward to the club during the winter transfer window failed to materialise.
With Al Nassr keen to strengthen their squad, this potential deal could see the Black Stars playmaker joining the growing list of high-profile players heading to Saudi Arabia.

Al Nassr's renewed interest in Mohammed Kudus
Al Nassr, who have already secured big names like Cristiano Ronaldo in recent years, are looking to further bolster their attack by targeting Kudus.
The Ghanaian forward, who currently plays for West Ham United, had previously been linked with the Saudi side during the January transfer window.
However, discussions were unable to reach fruition at that time. Now, Al-Nassr has reportedly renewed their interest, making a major move to secure the 24-year-old's signature in the upcoming summer window.
Kudus, who missed out on Ghana's top five performers in the Chad and Madagascar World Cup qualifiers recently, is a versatile attacking midfielder and has impressed both at the club level with West Ham and internationally with the Black Stars.
His exceptional dribbling skills, flair, and ability to score goals would make him an attractive prospect for Al-Nassr, who are determined to enhance their attacking options in the 2025/2026 season.
His potential move would be part of the club’s ongoing effort to create a more formidable squad and make a statement in both domestic and international competitions.
Al-Nassr reportedly make offer for Kudus
According to reports from English media outlet GiveMeSport, Al-Nassr is preparing a significant offer for Kudus, valued at around £84 million. This sum reflects the club’s willingness to break the bank to secure one of West Ham's prized assets.
The offer represents not only a considerable financial incentive for the club but also a tempting proposition for Kudus. The potential to play in Saudi Arabia’s increasingly competitive Pro League, combined with the prospect of a substantial wage package, could be enough to sway the Ghanaian star into making the move.
Kudus has shown his capabilities in the Premier League, establishing himself as a key player for West Ham since his transfer from Ajax Amsterdam. However, with a significant bid on the table, his future in England could be uncertain.
Should the deal go through, the English side would be forced to weigh the financial benefits of such an offer against the loss of one of their most promising talents.
Saudi Pro League's growing appeal
The Saudi Pro League has been growing in prominence over the past few years, thanks in part to the arrival of world-class players like Ronaldo and the league’s increasing financial backing.
Clubs like Al-Nassr used their wealth to attract top-tier talent from Europe and beyond, making the Saudi Arabian top flight one of the most talked-about football leagues globally.

The financial allure of playing in Saudi Arabia is hard to ignore. With vast sums of money available to players, the league has become a destination for stars looking for both a competitive challenge and substantial financial rewards.
This trend is likely to continue as clubs like Al-Nassr attempt to compete on the continental stage and build teams that can challenge in major competitions.
