Subway Socceroos left-back Aziz Behich will join Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr on loan until the end of the 2023/24 season following the conclusion of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™.
Behich is currently with Australia at Asia's premier competition with his side preparing for a Quarter Final clash against Korea Republic, a rematch of the 2015 Final where the Green and Gold claimed a famous 2-1 extra-time win.
The 33-year-old has played every minute of the Socceroos' four matches so far this tournament and his impressive form has caught the eye of the team, led by superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who lie in second place on the ladder.
