Al Nassr are reportedly looking to sign two players from Flamengo and Fluminense to bolster the Cristiano Ronaldo-led squad. They want to bring in left-back Ayrton Lucas and winger Jhon Arias, but face tough competition from other suitors.
As per a report in Somos Fanaticos, Al Nassr have been impressed with Lucas and Arias after watching them in the FIFA Club World Cup. Both players are open to a transfer this summer and are evaluating their options.
Lucas, who joined Flamengo initially on loan in 2022, was linked with Arsenal in 2023, but the Gunners never followed up with their interest. Meanwhile, Fluminense winger Arias has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the Premier League side are said to be keen on sealing the deal.

Nawaf Boushal has been the first choice for the left-back position at Al-Nassr since the departure of Alex Telles, while Ayman Yahya is playing on the right wing for the Saudi Pro League side. Their future in the starting XI could be under threat if the two Brazilians are signed this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo's side already have Brazilians Bento and Angelo in their ranks, and are now looking to add more talented players from the region. Jorge Jesus, who was appointed the Al-Nassr manager on a one-year deal earlier this month, is pushing to get new players in before the start of pre-season.
Jorge Jesus was at Al Hilal until May this year, but left the club after failing to win the Saudi Pro League title. He is now determined to take Al-Nassr to the top, after they finished fifth last season.
