Arsenal have been linked with a move for Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny in recent months, who will likely join Al-Nassr.
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr are now expected to sign Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus, and he will reunite with his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. The 34-year-old has proven himself to be a reliable performer in Serie A, and he could have been a quality addition to the Arsenal squad.
Aaron Ramsdale is expected to move on this summer owing to lack of game time, with several Premier League clubs interested in him. Arsenal need a backup option to David Raya, and the 34-year-old could have been a quality addition.
Szczesny has played for Arsenal in the past, and he knows the club well. He would have adapted quickly and made an instant impact in the Premier League. There is no doubt that the 34-year-old has the quality and the experience to succeed in English football. It seems that he has chosen to move to Saudi Arabia instead.
Szczesny likely to earn a lot more in Saudi Arabia
Wojciech Szczesny is in the twilight stages of his career, and it is no surprise that he is heading to Saudi Arabia. A move to Al-Nassr would mean a lucrative contract for him. Although Arsenal are an attractive destination, they might not be able to match up with Saudi clubs financially.
In addition, the 34-year-old goalkeeper might be a starter for the Saudi outfit, whereas he would have been a backup option for Arsenal. The Polish shot-stopper might want to play regularly at this stage of his career. So, he has chosen to reunite with Ronaldo at the Saudi club.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal move on to other targets now. They need to bring in a quality backup goalkeeper before the summer transfer window closes, and it remains to be seen who they end up signing.
Meanwhile, Ramsdale needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he has been linked with a host of clubs in recent weeks. He must look to join a club where he will be the first-choice goalkeeper. The Englishman has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League with Arsenal in the past, and he will look to get his career back on track with an exit this summer.
