Saudi Arabia has attracted some of the top players in the world during the past couple of transfer windows. While most players have made a quick impact, some are reportedly second-guessing their decision. Well, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Al Nassr teammate Sadio Mane is amongst those names with the Senegalese keen on returning to Europe.

This could force the Knights of Najd to make major changes around the team, including a new squad around Cristiano Ronaldo. With Sadio Mane, looking for a way out, this could open the door for potential players like Luiz Diaz and Bernardo Silva. Al Nassr has been interested in the Premier League duo for a while, and a move for Sadio Mane could be the perfect way to introduce the two players to the team. If Al Nassr cannot find a good offer for the player, the team is also open to loaning Sadio Mane for a small fee.

However, Sadio Mane isn’t the only player interested in leaving the ship this season. According to reports, defender Aymeric Laporte also wants to return to Europe. Atletico Madrid is reportedly looking to rope in the player and could secure the player’s services if they strike a deal with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr risks losing top players

While Al Nassr wants to build a super team to rival Al Hilal, the team could be without some of their top players. Talisca, who has impressed for Al Nassr, is attracting interest from multiple European clubs. Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbache is said to be keen about signing the Brazilian winger and would be open to lodge a $20 million bid for the player. Pairing Talisca with the expected departures of Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte could put a huge dent on Luis Castro’s roster.

With departures element in the summer, Al Nassr could spend massive cash to make up for the absences. According to reports, Al Nassr has been in touch with Bernardo Silva and Luis Diaz over a potential move to Saudi Arabia. The team has also contacted Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez over a potential switch but the deal is unlikely to go through with Villa qualifying for Champions League this season.

It will be interesting to see how Al Nassr shapes up their team as they plan to take it to Al Hilal this season. The Blues Waves have had an upper hand over their opponents this season and will be Al Nass’s biggest challenge next season.
