Al Nasr have announced the signing of midfielder Luis Jimenez from Al Ahli on a two-year deal.
Jimenez, 31, will undergo a medical with the President’s Cup winners, before officially completing the move, which is expected by the end of next week.
“Al Nasr Club announce the signing of Luis Jimenez on a two-year deal,” the club announced on its official Twitter account.
“The player will begin his medical process on Saturday, July 4. The process will be completed on July 9.”
Jimenez, a Chilean-Palestinian, will take the slot of Nasr’s Asian player, and joins Roma midfielder Marquinho as part of the club’s new-look foreign quartet.
