Former Real Madrid Player Lucas Vazquez Linked With Al Nassr
Lucas Vázquez left Real Madrid after the Club World Cup, after his contract expired. The Spaniard has been with the club since 2015, and has yet to decide where his future lies. The 34-year-old spoke to Arabic outlet EremNews and discussed his plans. When asked if he would consider a move to the Saudi Pro League, he replied, "I don't know, anything's possible."
Turkish side Fenerbahce and La Liga team Espanyol, a team he has been on loan to, have been mentioned as suitors. Al Nassr have also been mentioned, and Ronaldo would undoubtedly love to have his experience on the team.
Ronaldo, as well as helping build the team for the season, is also looking to continue his goal-scoring record as he draws closer to the 1,000 career goals mark. It's also a World Cup year, which may be his last tournament with his country.
