Cristiano Ronaldo ‘set to link up with ex-Arsenal and Juventus star’ as Al-Nassr close in on £15million transfer

CRISTIANO RONALDO is reportedly set to link up with former Juventus teammate Wojciech Szczesny at Al-Nassr.

The former Arsenal goalkeeper, 34, has been in Turin for the past seven seasons.

But Szczesny’s contract has just a year left to run.

And he looks set to be sold as Juventus ring the changes.

The fallen Italian giants have already sacked boss Max Allegri, with Bologna’s Thiago Motta set to replace him.

While they are also hoping to sign Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Aston Villa loanee Nicolo Zaniolo.

The club’s hierarchy have already been busy in the market after agreeing a £15million to sign Monza goalie Michele Di Gregorio.

And Fabrizio Romano claims Szczesny now looks set for a Middle Eastern switch for the same fee.

It’s reckoned the three-time Serie A winner has opened talks with Al-Nassr, who boast former Juventus pal Ronaldo plus fellow ex-Premier League stars Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte and Alex Telles.

The Saudi side also have former Arsenal teammate and rival goalie David Ospina on their books.

The Colombian bumped Szczesny from Arsene Wenger’s side in the 2014/15 season, forcing the Pole to leave on an initial two-year loan to Roma.

But it now appears that a decade later, Ospina will be replaced by Szczesny as talks with Al-Nassr rumble on.
