Barcelona chief departs Asia tour ahead of joining Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste is on the verge of a move to Saudi Arabia, to join Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have on Sunday provided an insight into the situation.

Yuste, for his part, currently acts as the vice-president at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The Spaniard has been in the position for the last four years, having been appointed back in March of 2021.

And over the time since, Yuste has played a central role in both the day-to-day running, and high-profile business dealings of Barcelona.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media this weekend is anything to go by, then his time in Catalunya’s capital appears to be inching towards an imminent end.

As per a report from MD:

‘Rafa Yuste is scheduled to return to the Catalan capital tomorrow from Kobe, Japan, where Barça began its Asian tour. Yuste’s return could be the prelude to his signing for Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, who want him as CEO of the club.’
