Al Nassr are going through massive changes as they have announced the arrival of new coach Jorge Jesus, while Cristiano Ronaldo also signed an extension with the club.
The Riyadh-based outfit are desperate to win the Saudi Pro League next season after finishing third under the tutelage of former manager Stefano Pioli.
Ronaldo’s side also reached the AFC Asian Champions League semifinal, where they lost to Kawasaki Frontale.
However, they are hoping to win it all next season, and therefore they are looking to strengthen their forwardline.
As per reports via Rudy Galetti, Al Nassr have identified US men’s national team star Christian Pulisic as a potential target to bolster their attack.
Pulisic has been a exceptional form since moving to Serie A and joining AC Milan in 2023.

The 26-year-old has a lot of experience playing in the top league and would be a great fit for the Saudi Pro League outfit.
If the deal materialises, then the American star would partner Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in attack.
According to reports, the deal also includes a possibility of Al Nassr defender Aymeric Laporte moving to AC Milan.
Christian Pulisic: 2024/25 stats, contract, and possible asking price
Pulisic made a name in Europe during his stint at Borussia Dortmund, and he moved to the Premier League in 2019 when Chelsea signed him.

He had his moments donning the Chelsea blue, but never really kicked off on his lofty potential therefore, he moved on to AC Milan in 2023.
Pulisic’s career revived at San Siro as he has netted 32 goals in 100 appearances for the club. He scored 17 goals last season, with 11 of them coming in the Serie A.
He has been named in the Serie A Team of the Season on both occasions since moving to Italy.
While there’s no information on his asking price, Milan are in no hurry to sell the 26-year-old as his current contract runs until 2027.
So the Rossoneri could demand anything in the region of €65-70m ($75-82m) for the USA international.
Massimiliano Allegri has vowed to take Milan to their glory days, and considering Pulisic’s importance, he would be a vital player in the manager’s rebuild plan.
It remains to be seen if Laporte’s inclusion in the deal could change Milan’s stance on the 26-year-old forward.
