Al-Nassr are reportedly on the verge of securing the signing of Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 24-year-old, who has scored eight times in 15 appearances for Xabi Alonso's side during the 2024-25 campaign, has previously been linked with a high-profile move to the Premier League.
However, Al-Nassr have recently moved to the head of the queue for his services, and according to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, a deal is now in place for the Nigeria international to make the switch to the Saudi Pro League.
Plettenberg claims that Al-Nassr will pay in the region of €60m (£50.3m), while Boniface will earn €15m (£12.6m) net per season.
Boniface has allegedly already passed his medical with the Saudi outfit, and an announcement is set to arrive in the near future.
The Nigerian made the move to Leverkusen from Union SG in 2023, and he has scored 29 goals and registered 11 assists in 49 appearances for the German side in all competitions.

Shakhtar 'launch £12.6m offer for Guilherme'
Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk have reportedly made a £12.6m offer for West Ham United attacker Luis Guilherme.
The 18-year-old made the move to the Hammers from Palmeiras in June 2024, and he has featured on six occasions for the capital outfit during the 2024-25 campaign, including five outings in the Premier League.
However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Guilherme could leave the London Stadium before the end of the January transfer window, with Shakhtar battling to secure his services.
Romano claims that an offer in the region of £12.6m has been submitted, with the teenager expected to leave the London Stadium over the next few days, having found it difficult to settle at West Ham.
Hammers head coach Graham Potter is hoping to add a couple of players to his squad, meanwhile, with a new forward viewed as a priority due to the team's injury problems in the final third of the field.

Bournemouth 'in talks' over deal for Lorient teenager
Elsewhere, Bournemouth are allegedly in talks with Lorient over a deal for Eli Junior Kroupi.
The 18-year-old has scored nine times and registered two assists in 18 appearances for Lorient during the 2024-25 campaign, including eight goals and two assists in 16 outings in France's second tier.
According to the Daily Mail, Bournemouth are currently in discussions over a potential deal for the teenager in the latter stages of the January transfer window, but there are also believed to be other clubs in the race.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig are said to be among the other teams showing an interest in the forward, who has been involved with Lorient's first team since the age of 16.
Bournemouth are believed to be willing to let the teenager remain with Lorient for the rest of the campaign, with the move then officially taking place during this summer's transfer window.
Kroupi, who is in the final 18 months of his contract, has scored 14 goals and registered five assists in 50 appearances for Le FCL in all competitions.
