Palermo midfielder Marco Bresciano is set to leave the Serie A outfit and team up with Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr.

The Australian, who is expected to represent his country at this summer's World Cup finals, has spent 11 years in Italy after spells with Empoli and Parma and feels now is the right time to move on.

Al Nassr recently appointed former Italy goalkeeper and Palermo coach Walter Zenga as their new manager and 30-year-old Bresciano will bolster the side ahead of next term's Asian Champions League campaign.

A club spokesman said: "This is a contract worth two million euros and over a two-year term."
