One of the current topics in Al Nassr is the future of his goalkeeping. The club has decided not to renew the contract of Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina, which has generated rumors about his possible return to Atlético Nacional, his club of origin. This decision has prompted the Saudi team to look for an international-level replacement to fill the vacancy left by the 35-year-old goalkeeper.
Recently, from Europe, the renowned journalist specialized in transfers, Fabrizio Romano, has revealed in his X account that Al Nassr is in negotiations with Wojciech Szczesny, the current goalkeeper of Juventus in Italy.
“EXCL: Al Nassr has started talks to sign Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus as a new goalkeeper. Juve are prepared to sell Szczesny, with Di Gregorio joining in an €18 million deal and talks for a new deal with Perin to begin soon. The decision will be up to the Polish goalkeeper“wrote the journalist.
Szczesny, who will participate with the Polish team in the Euro Cup, is emerging as one of the strongest candidates to fill the position left by Ospina. The possibility of the former Arsenal joining Al Nassr is generating many expectations, since he is a goalkeeper with extensive experience in top European clubs and in international competitions.
Al Nassr’s interest in Szczesny shows the club’s ambition to maintain a high competitive level, seeking in the Polish goalkeeper the solidity and security it needs for its next challenges. Although talks are at a preliminary stage, Szczesny’s future with Juventus and his willingness to move to Saudi Arabia will be crucial factors in this potential transfer.
The summer market promises to be intense for Al Nassr, who is not only considering Szczesny, he could also make other important signings to reinforce various areas of the team. With the Euros underway, the decisions of many players, including Szczesny, could depend on their performance in the tournament and the offers they receive. At the moment, fans of Al Nassr and international football are waiting for the future of what could be their new star goalkeeper to be defined.
Prior to the friendly match against the United States, the goalkeeper was consulted about his future and his possible arrival to the Paisa team, Ospina was cautious in his statements: “Now I am concentrated and focused on the national team, I will have time to sit down with my family and drink the decision for my future. Nacional is the team that I am a fan of, the one that made me known outside and gave me important things.. “It is a great opportunity and let’s wait for what will happen in the coming days.”
Likewise, he spoke about the option of Falcao playing in the BetPlay League with the Millonarios helmet: “Talking about Falcao is talking about a great reference for us. I love him very much, and wish him the best. It is a personal decision and that of his family and he will take what is best for him.”
At the moment, Atlético Nacional has only confirmed the hiring of Edwin Cardona and Juan Manuel Zapata, so David Ospina’s situation will only be resolved once Colombia’s participation in the Copa América ends.
