Bento moved from Athletico Paranaense on a four-year contract and has already joined the team in their pre-season training in Spain.

The 25-year-old was part of Brazil’s squad in the recent 2024 Copa America but was unused in the four matches that the Selecao played.

Second in the league last season, the transfer sees Al Nassr moving quickly to replace outgoing David Ospina who returned to Colombia to Atletico Nacional.

Meanwhile, Australian international Mathew Ryan sealed a move to Italian Serie A side, AS Roma.

The 32-year-old custodian, who spent last season with AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Eredivisie, is seen by Roma manager Daniele De Rossi as potentially filling the gap left behind by the departing Rui Patricio.

A switch was also confirmed for 26-year-old Iraqi midfielder Amir Al Ammari who signed with Polish top-flight club, Cracovia.

After a season with the Saudi Pro League, Allan Saint-Maximin will be calling Fenerbahce his new home after Al Ahli agreed to a season-long loan.
