Al Nassr has tried to strengthen their defense. Currently, they signed Mohamed Simakan, he is a new center-back for Al Nassr. It seems Luís Castro wants Laporte-Simakan as the main center-backs for this season. But sadly, they have no strong defenders in right and left backs. Alex Telles left the club and Al Nassr can't sign another new European players. They have 10 foreign players now, they are unable to sign new non-Saudi players.

I still wonder why Al-Nassr chose to terminate his contract with Alex Telles to be able to bring in Mohamed Simakan, even though they know that there are not enough wing-back options available at the moment. Maybe Mohamed Simakan can be used as a wing-back too but he will not be as fast as Alex Telles in helping the attack and the rest he is only strong in defense.

The restriction on foreign players is also a factor that must be obeyed by the Saudi league team and now Al-Nassr certainly only depends on the depth they have. Maybe they can still play optimally but I doubt this will bother them enough, especially if they still concede a large number of goals during the season there will definitely be another overhaul in the upcoming transfer market.
