Cristiano Ronaldo will be followed at Al-Nassr by other big names in European football, with the Saudi Pro League set to lift their transfer ban.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr on a free transfer in January following the termination of his contract with Manchester United, becoming the highest-paid player in the world at 200 million euros a year.
Despite Ronaldo’s 14 goals in 16 appearances, Al-Nassr could only finish second to Al-Ittihad last season, and the club were expected to spend big this summer.
Al-Nassr managed to sign Marcelo Brozovic for 18 million euros at the beginning of July, but was then banned from signing new players due to a debt to Leicester for the recruitment of Ahmed Musa in 2018.
Al-Nassr’s new owner, the PIF, should settle this matter in due course, and Brozovic should have company in the midfield.
The agreement with Fofana will be concluded “in the coming days”
” The Al-Nassr club expects its recruitment ban to be lifted next week,” tweeted journalist Ben Jacobs. Leicester must confirm receipt of £390,000 for surcharges due in connection with Ahmed Musa deal”added Jacobs, transfer specialist.
“Al-Nassr hopes to finalize the signing of Lens captain Seko Fofana in the coming days. (The deal has been in place for some time.
