The January transfer window has seen little activity so far Al Nassr. The Saudi Pro League The club has taken its most important steps over the summer and currently has no major needs to address ahead of the second half of the season. However, one of Christiano Ronaldo‘s teammates could be on their way out, with a possible move to the Premier League now on the table.
“West Ham have sent an official offer to Al Nassr for Brazilian GK Bento. There are conversations going on.” Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported this via his official on Monday X account (formerly known as Tweet).
Bento is in his second season in Saudi Arabia after joining the club Athletico Paranaense by Brazilian Serie A in the summer of 2024. At that time he signed a four-year contract Al Nassr which runs until June 30, 2028, a move that underlined the club’s intention to secure a high-quality goalkeeper who can anchor the position for years to come.
However, that plan could be reconsidered due to this potential move to the Premier League. While Westham United are not among England’s elite clubs and are currently in the relegation zone, the global exposure and competitive level of the league would represent a major step forward in Bento’s career.

Bento’s difficult gift at Al Nassr
Upon his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Bento was seen as a key player for Al Nassr, making 49 appearances in his first season at the club. However, that situation has changed dramatically as the Brazilian goalkeeper has since lost his place in the starting line-up Jorge Jesus took over as head coach at the start of the current campaign.

A week later, at the beginning of the Saudi Pro League season, Nawaf Al-Aqidi was named starter and has started every league match except one since. Bento has since been used in Al Nassr’s other competitions, including the King’s cup and the AFC Champions League 2. In total, the Brazilian has played ten matches this season out of the total 22 matches that the club has contested.
Bento needs regular playing time prior to the World Cup
Like many players, this January transfer window faces Bento with a crucial decision in his career. A move from Al Nassr to the Premier League would not only impact the future of his club, but could also prove crucial to his international prospects.
Bento is part of the Brazilian national team and has been included in every squad selected by Carlo Ancelotti. However, he has spent most of those calls on the bench, at the back Alisson, Ederson And Hugo Souz. His only appearances were in two international friendlies, one in October and one in November.
With less than six months to go until the start of the FIFA World Cup 2026, Bento needs to play as many games as possible to convince Ancelotti that he is ready to compete for a place in the squad. That reality could play a decisive role in determining his next move.
