With nine dates left until the end of the Saudi Professional League, Al Ittihad is already thinking about searching for reinforcements for the transfer market. In that sense, Marcelo Gallardo would have already asked the leadership of the Arab club for a name. And it is that of a former Boca, no more no less…
According to the Uruguayan journalist Sebastián Giovanelli, Gallardo would have requested the arrival of Nahitan Nandez. The negotiation would even be advanced, with a three-year contract for the Uruguayan.
However, his arrival at Al Ittihad would not be entirely easy. There would be another Arab club that would also be interested in having the Cagliari midfielder: Al Qadisiya, who would also have made a strong proposal to the player. And Inter Milan could also be included on the list, who would closely follow in the footsteps of the Uruguayan, who has a good presence in Serie A.
It is worth remembering that Gallardo repeatedly faced the steering wheel of the Uruguayan team while he was coach of River. In all of them, of course, Nández wore the Boca shirt. The Uruguayan, who played there between 2017 and 2019, even scored a goal against the former Muñe team, in the Superclásico that Xeneize beat Millonario at the Monumental by 2-1. In addition, they met him in the memorable final of the 2018 Copa Libertadores that Núñez’s team beat the Ribera club in Madrid 3-1. Will MG manage to take the Uruguayan to Saudi Arabia?

What Riquelme said about Nández
Recently, who also spoke about Nández was Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca. When asked about a possible return of the Uruguayan to Xeneize, although JRR responded that he spoke with him several times, he avoided saying if he saw a real return for the Uruguayan. although he suggested that his good present in Italy will surely encourage him to stay in Europe.
“I don’t know what the Nahitan issue is like. I have spoken with him several times because he is a good friend of Cavani but he is captain there. He returned to the national team to play with Bielsa, because the last time with Tabárez was not going well. And that means that when you don’t play for your club and your national team, the desire there increases, but when in Europe you play all the games and you do well, it becomes more difficult to want to return. If I have any news I’ll tell you, ha, but today we don’t know anything.”

The present of Al Ittihad
Al Ittihad is 4th in the Saudi Professional League table, with 43 points, 25 behind the leader, Al Hilal, undefeated and a team with a record of consecutive victories worldwide this season. And this Friday they will have to face Al Fateh on the 25th.
The most important game left in the season is the semifinal of the Copa del Campeones against Al Hilal, which will be on April 30 of this year. If you become champion of that competition, you will qualify directly for the next Asian Champions League. Through the local tournament, he must finish third and bet on the preliminary round or on a place being released in case Al Hilal wins that Cup or the Champions League itself this season.
