David Ospina can boast that he was the first to see an opportunity that the world will hopefully be talking about very soon.
Although he could continue a couple more seasons in Europe, in one of the top leagues, he chose to accept a millionaire offer from Saudi football, a decision many criticized at the time. Well, if the market movements are favourable, he could very well be the pioneer of a very ambitious project that would bring him into the same locker room as a living legend and a world champion.
According to Get French Football News, Al-Nassr hopes to make two brilliant signings: Cristiano Ronaldo and N’golo Kanté.
The Frenchman would be tempting at the moment, taking advantage of the fact that he would be released by Chelsea next June and not have to spend on expensive transfers. The midfielder, however, has been plagued with injuries this season and was ruled out of France’s runners-up squad at the 2022 World Cup.
But that’s not the only name as Al-Nassr are determined to sign some top stars in the summer, with Cristiano Ronaldo emerging as a priority following his dramatic departure from Manchester United. Sun Sport has revealed that the Portuguese player has an offer on the table close to the 200 million euro that he is considering.
What’s behind this millionaire investment?
The movements are due to a fundamental motivation that the Arabs have: to win the candidacy to host the 2030 World Cup. That’s why they try to bring as many stars as possible, such as Qatar, the site of the last World Cup. The formula is proven, so it’s worth the investment.
It is worth saying that, to hit the target, it seems easier to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, who at 37 has few options, due to the very high cost of his salary, which for the Arabs is not a big problem. In Kanté’s case, if he doesn’t renew with Chelsea and doesn’t find a good option to continue in England, where he lives very well, he could let himself be tempted by Barcelona.
