    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    As per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Al-Nassr have opened talks with Bayer Leverkusen's Boniface regarding a potential summer move to Saudi Arabia. The Nigerian striker has shown a lot of promise under Xabi Alonso over the last two seasons and the Saudi Pro League side believe that Boniface could be the right option to support Ronaldo in attack.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    The report has suggested that Al-Nassr also have Aston Villa striker Duran high on the wishlist for the summer but are aware that the West Midlands side are keen on keeping the Colombian striker at the club and will not be willing to enter into any sort of negotiations regarding a transfer fee.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR AL-NASSR?

    Talisca is set to confirm his move to Fenerbahce over the next few days, however, Al-Nassr are not likely to sign his replacement this month as Stefano Pioli has his attack sorted with Angelo, Otavio and Sadio Mane playing behind Ronaldo. However, they will look to make new signings in the summer with Boniface likely to be their number one target.
