Al Nassr’s new decision with David Ospina complicates it: Why are they removing him from the payroll? | Colombians Abroad

Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to enjoy his first minutes in Saudi Arabian football in a new edition of the Riyadh Season Cup in which figures from Al Nassr and Al Hilal will face nothing more and nothing less than Lionel Andrés Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain , Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappé, just to name the three stars of the Parisian eleventh.

Without a doubt, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Arab football has caused a huge ‘boom’ in football in Saudi Arabia and he hopes that it is just the beginning to make the Saudi tournament much more attractive for the future. In turn, the visit of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé will also be important so that eyes are on the Arabian tournament. But the incorporation of him also makes it very difficult for Al Nassr.

Not everything is rosy for David Ospina and company with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. It is as if the new one came to impose the name of his figure and complicated more than one player who is excited to play alongside the Portuguese. Well, the first affected was the team’s scorer, Vincent Aboubakar who played in the World Cup in Qatar, but it was not enough to ensure his stay. With CR7 on the squad, the Arab team reached nine foreigners making up the squad, but the league only allows eight in the ranks of each club, for this reason, the Cameroonian was the first to leave.

There are now eight foreigners in Saudi Arabia after the departure of Vincent Aboubakar who, when he said goodbye, maintained that Lionel Messi is the best and that there was no discussion against the Portuguese star. Now with David Ospina’s injury, everything seems to indicate that the Colombian would be the next to leave Al Nassr, all because the goalkeeper they are managing as David’s replacement is the Costa Rican, Keylor Navas with a past at Real Madrid and who will I would get together with Cristiano Ronaldo again.

David Ospina’s elbow injury seems to be more serious than expected and the goalkeeper would be out for more than six weeks. The man from Antioquia has already undergone a successful operation and will begin his recovery. Meanwhile, Al Nassr would have decided to bring in Keylor Navas as his replacement, a goalkeeper who is not having a good time at Paris Saint-Germain with a Gianluigi Donnarumma who does not let go of the goal. Keylor would arrive at the Arab institution for six months, which surely would not be beneficial for the Tico either, although he would have the position assured while David recovers.

But the big problem is that with Keylor Navas and with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, Al Nassr would have the same problem again: nine foreigners. For this reason, the decision of the club and Rudi García would be to remove David Ospina from the official roster while he recovers from his injury with the aim of freeing up a place so that Keylor Navas can arrive without any problem. According to the Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, the idea is to remove it while he recovers to leave a free space for whoever arrives. When the Colombian returns, it will surely only be for the current season and then they will reinstate him.
