Not so long ago, the executives of the Saudi side Al Nassr embarked on one of the most ambitious missions in the history of football, determined to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo to the club. However, the Portuguese superstar is not the only big name they would like to sign – N’Golo Kante is also a major wish of the leaders of the current top club of the Saudi league.That is at least what the well informed French journalist Santi Aouna states. According to his reports, Al Nassr are interested in the 31-year-old Chelsea member and will try to negotiate a deal for the summer transfer market.##NAJAVA_MECA_6906295##Why not his winter already? Because Kante’s contract with the London Blues is expires at the end of the ongoing season and that way he could leave Stamford Bridge for ‘free’.And even though he would love to stay with the Blues, N’Golo has nothing against moving to Riyyad, says Aouna. After all, it is questionable if Chelsea are willing to offer Kante an extension, aware of the fact that in the last two and a half years he has been going in and out of injuries constantly. This year in particular, he has been off the pitch since August and he won’t be coming back until February at the soonest. This is why many reliable sources are repeatedly reporting that his chances of leaving the Blues as a free agent are getting bigger.🚨 Depois do interesse em Cristiano Ronaldo, o Al Nassr quer assegurar a contratação de N’Golo Kanté a custo zero no final da temporada, avança o jornalista @Santi_J_FM. pic.twitter.com/b8bhrVHZIi— Diário de Transferências (@DTransferencias) December 25, 2022 A reminder – Barcelona also want Kante but he is not that approachable to them due to the club’s financial difficulties. Speaking of difficulties, Al Nassr could also have them if they want Kante but they have a different problem – the obstacle for the Arabian club is the rule that limits the number of foreigners on the team and they would have to resolve that if they wish to sign both Ronaldo and Kante. The limit is seven, and Al Nassr already has eight players from abroad – Luiz Gustavo, Vincent Aboubakar, David Ospina and Anderson Talisca among others.
