Al Nassr faces the risk of losing goalkeeper Bento: West Ham submits official offer.

Al Nassr is facing the prospect of losing a key defender as goalkeeper Bento is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. If this transfer goes through, it will leave a significant void in the Saudi Arabian team's goal and directly impact Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates' ambitions for titles.

West Ham submits formal offer for Bento

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, West Ham have officially entered the race to sign the Brazilian goalkeeper. The London club is said to have submitted a concrete offer to Al Nassr's management to discuss transfer terms.

“West Ham have submitted a formal offer to Al Nassr for Brazilian goalkeeper Bento. Negotiations are currently underway,” Romano confirmed, asserting that things have progressed to a concrete proposal in the winter transfer window.

The influence of coach Jorge Jesus and Bento's ambition.

Despite being a key player since joining, Bento's departure is a significant possibility. Notably, reports indicate that coach Jorge Jesus has requested that the Al Nassr management approve the goalkeeper's departure. This decision may be aimed at helping the club reorganize its foreign player slots and strengthen other positions to balance the squad.

For Bento personally, a move to the Premier League is an attractive step. The goalkeeper, born in 1999, is currently seeking a more competitive environment to maintain his form and solidify his position in the Brazilian national team ahead of upcoming major tournaments.

The journey of a Brazilian goalkeeper to prove his talent.

Bento joined Al Nassr on July 17, 2024, from Athletico Paranaense and immediately won the trust of the coaching staff. He made an impressive debut in the 2–0 victory against Al Taawoun in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final and has maintained consistent form ever since.

Bento's stature extends beyond the club level. He has delivered outstanding performances for the Brazilian national team, most notably in the 1–0 victory against England at Wembley in March 2024. Playing in crucial matches against major opponents like Argentina has solidified his international standing.

Overall, if the move to West Ham goes through, Al Nassr will face a difficult personnel problem in the goalkeeper position, which has traditionally been considered a solid foundation for Cristiano Ronaldo in his quest for new heights in the Saudi Pro League.
