The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo was only the first step. By hiring the Portuguese, Al Nassr broke the ice and began to create their own version of Galacticos, all with the aim of becoming the dominant club in that part of the world. The Arabs are doing everything to make the championship more attractive and thus promote the development of football, today a powerful branch of industry, in the country.They will not stop at the signing of CR7, it was instantly clear, as was the strategy with which Al Nassr is guided. The club is targeting mostly veterans, those whose contracts expire in the summer or soon after. The Saudi club already sent inquiries about Sergio Ramos, Luka Modrić and Marco Reus, they have prepared 36,000,000 euros for Sergio Busquets for two seasons, and they also want – David Silva.##NAJAVA_MECA_7007303##Al Nassr rely on a local connection who used to work at Manchester City. The General Manager of the Pro League of Saudi Arabia is Gary Cook was part of the Cityzens’ machinery during Silva’s time at the Etihad. He was working as an executive at the Etihad club when the creative midfielder arrived on the Island in a €28,750,000 transfer and he will be one of the men in charge of negotiations with David Silva.The Spaniard’s contract with Real Sociedad expires in the summer, and the club from San Sebastian, despite being 38 years old, is willing to extend the cooperation. At least for one more season. It’s not surprising, because the numbers are inexorable. When David Silva is on the pitch, Sociedad win 67 percent of their games. Without him, a miserable 29 percent.Although he hasn’t had crazy stats since his return to Primera Division – two goals and four assists this season, a total of six goals and 13 passes that resulted in goals – there is a consensus at Anoeta that David Silva should be offered a new contract. And they are ready to wait for an answer as long as necessary.What a deal for the veteran: the Saudis offer Busquets 36,000,000 euros for two seasonsReal Sociedad will undoubtedly not offer the veteran from the Canary Islands a generous salary like Al Nassr would – the Basquer will rely on the fact that he is one of the players with the most appearances in the shirt of La Furia Roja and how happy he is in San Sebastian. He also has a good connection with coach Imanol Alguacil, when he felt tired he was spared, and there is every chance that he could play in the Champions League with the Basque club next season.But despite all that, it will not be easy for David Silva to resist the astronomical salary. Such is surely waiting for him on the Arabian Peninsula.
