# Nahitan Nandez transfer negotiations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/nahitan-nandez-transfer-negotiations > Updated: 2026-08-23T17:12:16.000Z. Sources: 27. Developments: 2. Uruguayan midfielder Nahitan Nandez is seeking to leave his current club, Al-Qadsiah, in the Saudi Pro League. Initial reports linked the player to a potential return to Cagliari in Italy, noting that while Nandez has a strong connection to Sardinia, financial constraints regarding his salary would be a primary obstacle. Subsequent developments indicate Nandez has approved negotiations between Neom and Al-Qadsiah to acquire him. Additionally, Boca Juniors has expressed interest in the 30-year-old as a midfield reinforcement. While Nandez has considered options in Italy and Spain, he has also expressed a desire to return to South America for a second stint with Boca Juniors, though such a move depends on the Argentine club freeing up a foreign player slot. Recent reports suggest Nandez may wish to end his tenure in Saudi Arabia early to compete in a more competitive league and potentially regain his position on the Uruguayan national team. Cagliari is reportedly considering his return to strengthen their right flank, though Nandez would likely need to accept a “significant salary reduction” to meet the club’s economic capabilities. He remains under contract with Al-Qadsiah until June 2027. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: Argentine football: Defensa y Justicia and Temperley secure key victories Multiple Argentine football matches concluded, including Defensa y Justicia's 2-1 win over Belgrano and Temperley's 2-1 comeback victory against Ferro Carril Midland. 25 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nahitan-nndez-seeks-departure-from-al-qadsiah-amid-boca-juniors-interest ### 2026-08-22: Nahitan Nandez linked to potential return to Cagliari Cagliari is exploring a possible return for midfielder Nahitan Nandez from Al-Qadsiah, though high salary demands remain a significant hurdle for the deal. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nahitan-nandez-linked-to-potential-return-to-cagliari --- Cite as: Nahitan Nandez transfer negotiations.
