David Ospina can boast of being the first to see an opportunity that the world, if all goes well, will 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 million-dollar offer from Saudi Arabian soccer, a decision that many criticized at the time. Well now, if market movements are favourable, he may well be the pioneer of a very ambitious project that would bring him together with a living legend and a world champion in the same dressing room.
According to Get French Football News, Al-Nassr is hoping to make two brilliant signings: Cristiano Ronaldo and N’golo Kanté.
He would be tempting the Frenchman at present, taking advantage of the fact that next June he would be released from Chelsea and he would not have to spend on expensive transfers. The midfielder, however, has been plagued by injuries this season and was left out of France’s runner-up World Cup 2022 squad.
But it’s not the only name as Al-Nassr is determined to sign some of the best stars in the summer, with Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly emerging as a priority after his dramatic departure from Manchester United. Sun Sport revealed that the Portuguese player has an offer close to 200 million euros on the table that he is considering.
What is 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 is why they try to bring as many stars as possible, as Qatar, home of the most recent World Cup. The formula is proven so it is worth the investment.
It is worth saying that, to meet the objective, it seems easier to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, who has few options at 37 years old, due to the very high cost of his salary, which for the Arabs does not represent a major problem. In the case of Kanté, if he does not renew with Chelsea and does not find a good option to continue in England, where he lives very comfortably, he could be tempted by FC Barcelona.
