Barcelona star Busquets could join Ronaldo at Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr

Dubai: Following the extraordinary signing of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr are now considering a swoop for 2010 World Cup winner Sergio Busquets.

The 34-year-old Barcelona star’s future in La Liga remains unclear with sources close to the player believing he favours a move.

He could be tempted to join his old Real Madrid rival Ronaldo in the Middle East what with Al Nassr believed to be willing to offer him a two and a half year contract worth $19 million a year.

The Spanish midfielder, who has spent his entire career with the Catalan club, could yet stay at the Camp Nou beyond the summer, but he is considering a change of scene for the final years of his playing career.

At one stage, MLS seemed inevitable, but in recent months, other possibilities have opened.

Saudi Arabia is a strong possibility as the country wishes to add more high profile players to their domestic league to add credibility to their 2030 World Cup bid.

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo was on the look out for a new club after his contract with Manchester United was terminated and he opted for a switch to Saudi Arabia where he will earn a mouthwatering $207 million a year.

Al Nassr, one of the oldest clubs in the country, are a pretty handy side and currently stand as league leaders in the top flight.
