Pending making the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo official, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr have set their sights, according to 'Footmercato', on another European footballer -- one that Barça have considered signing in 2023 as a free agent -- in the Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.
Kante missed the recent World Cup in Qatar with France as he is in the process of recovering from a hamstring injury, which forced him to undergo surgery. Since August 14, he has been out of action.
TO RENEW OR NOT
Al-Nassr want to offer him a succulent contract to convince him to move to the Middle East, while Barça and Chelsea are waiting to see what the player decides.
A contract renewal has not been ruled out with Chelsea, where has was world champions in 2021, while is should also be noted that per Saudi league regulations Al-Nassr can only have seven foreign players and they currently have eight.
