Al-Nassr eye Antoine Semenyo
Al Nassr is looking to strengthen an already star-studded attack featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, Jhon Durán, and Angelo Gabriel.
Semenyo has been a long-term target and was pursued during the winter transfer window.
If the deal goes through, it could rival Neymar's £77 million move to Al Hilal as the most expensive in Saudi Pro League history.
While Semenyo’s willingness to leave the Premier League remains uncertain, Al Nassr believe they can reach an agreement with Bournemouth for less than his £70 million release clause.
Mitoma and Diaz among alternatives if Semenyo deal fails
Should negotiations for Semenyo fall through, Al Nassr already have backup options in place.
Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma is still on their radar after a failed £75 million offer in January.
The Japanese winger continues to impress in the Premier League and remains a top alternative for the Saudi club.
Liverpool’s Luis Díaz is also being monitored, with questions surrounding his future at Anfield.
Al-Nassr chase Mohammed Kudus
Al Nassr are also targeting Mohammed Kudus, Semenyo’s international teammate, as a potential summer signing.
According to The Guardian, West Ham may need to sell their star winger to raise funds for their own transfer plans.

Kudus is believed to have a release clause that becomes active for a short window this summer, making a move to the Saudi Pro League a real possibility amid strong interest from Al Nassr.
As reported earlier by YEN.com.gh, whether the Ghana international is willing to make a move to Saudi Arabia so early in his career is still uncertain.
West Ham, however, are confident that the winger will draw attention from both Premier League clubs and top teams across Europe.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a major summer swoop for Semenyo and are reportedly willing to make a substantial investment to bring him to North London.
Semenyo advised to stay at Bournemouth
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Antoine Semenyo has become the focus of multiple transfer speculations following his impressive performances in the Premier League.
Amid the growing interest, a Ghanaian football legend has advised the in-form Bournemouth striker to remain patient and make a well-thought-out decision regarding his future.
