Last Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo was officially announced as the new player for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, which has revolutionized the transfer market for the upcoming season. The Portuguese forward is not the only major investment that the Saudi Arabian club is seeking to make, as they have also set their sights on Mauro Icardi, an Argentine forward currently playing for Galatasaray in Turkey.
According to the latest information from TNT Sports in Argentina, the Saudi Arabian club wants Mauro Icardi, the former player of Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain, to be Cristiano Ronaldo's attacking partner. It's worth noting that the Argentine forward has scored four goals and provided three assists in just six games in Turkey, which caught the attention of Al Nassr.
Furthermore, reports from Italy affirm that discussions have already begun between Icardi and Al Nassr, considering that the team has also reached out to inquire about Sergio Busquets and Sergio Ramos in order to strengthen their defense.
