Marc Bernal is set to make his return from injury this weeked for Barcelona against Valencia which has got the rumor mill all excited once again.
Now he’s fit, the word is that Al-Nassr think they can reunite him with Inigo Martinez in Saudi Arabia…which is interesting.
The rumor comes from everyone’s favorite Saudi outlet Okaz (no, we’ve never heard of it either), with a report that states “informed sources have learned that the Al-Nassr club management is studying the file of young Spanish midfielder Marc Bernal.”
There’s some more blurb about Al-Nassr wanting to sign younger players and a hope they can land Bernal before the transfer window closes on September 23rd.
As rumors go, it’s certainly a fun one. It goes without saying that Barca expect Bernal to be a big part of their future. That’s why he’s been handed a contract until 2029 with a €500 million release clause.
