The transfer train just doesn’t stop for Al-Nassr as they look to keep up with the competition as Saudi Pro League sides continue to strengthen.
With the acquisition of multiple high level European stars this summer, they have built what is a strong team.
This strong team demonstrated it could be the winning formula already with their Arab Club Championship Cup triumph over Al-Hilal over the weekend.
The game saw Cristiano Ronaldo guide nine-man Al-Nassr to cup glory over their bitter rivals who are set to sign the superstar Neymar.
Ronaldo scored a brace in the 2-1 win which also bagged him the golden boot for the tournament.
Despite the arrival of Marcelo Brozovic, Seko Fofana, Alex Telles and Sadio Mane, more is needed.
Thus the reports linking the club to a centre-back and now a goalkeeper have fully surfaced and seem imminent.
According to reports one Premier League legend is on the verge of making the move.
De Gea on the brink
It seems that Al-Nassr have decided on their goalkeeping target, despite links to Liverpool’s Allison.
Business Times report that David de Gea is ‘on the brink’ of a reunion with Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, but his wages will be significantly less than expected.
Following his departure from Old Trafford, De Gea hasn’t really been heavily linked with a move to any top European sides as many of his fans thought he would.
Therefore a potential move to Al-Nassr could make sense, with September the 20th being the date he has to make up his mind.
Given some of the ludicrous figures thrown about for players to move to the Saudi Pro League, you might expect De Gea to be on a lot.
But according to the report, De Gea has been offered a weekly wage of £250,000 which is less than what he earned at Manchester United.
With limited options it is possible he makes the move and links up with two of his former teammates.
