Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic is reportedly the subject of a potential bid from Al-Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club, in the upcoming transfer window. It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo is in favor of signing Kovacic, and the Croatian player may have the opportunity to earn a substantial salary of $1 million per week if he moves to the Middle East.
Al-Nassr had initially planned to bring Kovacic to their club during the summer transfer window, but they were unable to make the necessary player sales to free up space for him in their squad. The team’s attempt to offload players to accommodate Kovacic did not materialize, including failed deals involving former Liverpool players Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
The decision on whether Manchester City will allow Kovacic to make the move to Al-Nassr may ultimately come down to the player himself. If Kovacic does not see himself as a regular starter at City once Rodri returns from injury, he may be enticed by the large salary Al-Nassr is reportedly offering. Manager Pep Guardiola tends to prioritize player happiness, so it will be important to monitor the situation in the upcoming months.
