Cristiano Ronaldo could soon have more support at Al-Nassr as his Saudi side are reportedly considering signing Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea. The Spaniard has become a free agent following the expiration of his contract, but still hopes to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.
Al-Nassr are willing to pay him around £250,000-a-week as he weighs up his options. Erik ten Hag had said at the end of last season that he wanted De Gea to stay for at least one more year, despite some high-profile mistakes.
It had been reported that De Gea had even signed a new contract on reduced terms, only for Manchester United to then withdraw the offer. With his career at Old Trafford now on the verge of ending, Al-Nassr have expressed their keenness to make the 32-year-old their new No. 1, according to The Sun.
At the same time, Al-Nassr are also trying to sign Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, with the summer move remaining in the balance due to issues over his medical. Chelsea are keen to offload the Moroccan, having already sold several players this summer.
Former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand has expressed his disappointment over how the club have treated De Gea recently. Speaking on the FIVE YouTube channel, he said that the Spaniard must be sitting there thinking that he never dreamed of leaving the club in this way. He added that the only way De Gea would stay is if United couldn’t get the Dutch goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Regardless of how this situation unfolds, it is clear that David de Gea’s future remains unclear as he weighs up his options. For now, Al-Nassr are waiting to see if they can succeed in their pursuit of both De Gea and Ziyech.
