This PSG player who will not make a Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo would have liked to reunite with his former Real Madrid team-mate Keylor Navas at Al Nassr, but the Saudis took another direction

Cristiano Ronaldo would have liked to reunite with his former Real Madrid teammate Keylor Navas at Al Nassr, but the Saudis took another direction due to the injury of their starting goalkeeper David Ospina. Ronaldo joined Al Nassr on January 1 on a €200m-a-season deal and made his competitive debut against Al Ittifaq on Sunday, having featured in an exhibition friendly against Lionel’s Paris Saint-Germain. Messi on Thursday.

Keylor Navas will not go to Al-Nassr

Many of Ronaldo’s former teammates at Real Madrid have been linked with a move to Al Nasssr, and Saudi football in general, and Navas is available, having fallen behind Gigio Donnarumma at PSG. Starting goalkeeper Ospina – the former Nice, Arsenal and Napoli goalkeeper – fractured his elbow in last Sunday’s goalless draw against Al Shabab – and a move for Navas might have made sense, but Al Nassr have now opted for Agustin Rossi.

“Agustin Rossi, a Boca Juniors player, received a call, got off a plane, took another and is ready to play with Cristiano Ronaldo”, reports the Portuguese sports newspaper Record. “The 27-year-old Argentinian has everything planned to join Vitor Pereira’s Flamengo in July, so he will only play in Saudi Arabia for the next five months, on loan from Boca. “Al Nassr will pay Boca just under €1m for his five-month loan.”
