What has been reported? Al-Riyadiya newspaper said on Sunday 8 November, citing a source, that Al-Nassr have reached a near-agreement with right-back Nawaf Boushal to keep him at the club for four more seasons. The talks were held directly with his agent, Ali Al-Rammah, and full terms are due to be announced later.
Is it official? Not yet. Neither the club nor the player has confirmed anything, so for now this remains a press report. Okaz had written on 25 October that Al-Nassr were close to a renewal and that, once terms are settled, a new contract must be cleared by the Financial Control Committee.
Why the hurry? His current deal runs to summer 2027. From January he enters the last six months of that contract, the window in which a player may negotiate with other clubs. Boushal himself told a press conference that the talks were between his agent and the club's management, Okaz reported.
How important is he to the team? He joined Al-Nassr from Al-Fateh in January 2023 and, according to the reports, has played 138 games for the club with 3 goals and 19 assists. He was part of the squad that won the 2025-26 Roshn Saudi League title, and this season he has continued to start on the right of defence in the league and the AFC Champions League Elite.
And the national team? Boushal has 31 caps for Saudi Arabia.
