This week, Paris Saint-Germain travel to Saudi Arabia, where they will play a gala match paying more than 10 million euros. By the way, the replacement goalkeeper Keylor Navas could be transferred to Al-Nassr.
Navas, a one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia?
Since its takeover by Qatar in 2011, it is especially with the Emirate that Paris Saint-Germain is used to doing good business.
But, in this month of January, it is more Saudi Arabia that will bring in big money in the coffers of the capital club!
High season jackpot
Taking advantage of the absence of a match until next Monday against Pays de Cassel in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Christophe Galtier’s men will indeed fly away on Tuesday evening for a commercial tour of just under 72 hours. in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The highlight of this stay, a friendly match between the Parisians and a selection of players from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will be on the program on Thursday in Riyadh.
Obviously, the leaders of PSG have generously negotiated the presence of their stars for this gala poster which should oppose Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo and L’Equipe reveals that the leader of Ligue 1 will receive a check for just over 10 million euros. euros for his participation in the event!
Navas, Al-Nassr’s priority
While the deficit of the reigning French champion reached €370 million last season, this cash inflow will do a lot of good. And this trip to the Middle East could be accompanied by a second piece of good news on the financial level! This Monday, the Marca newspaper tells us that Al-Nasser, decidedly very active this winter, has started negotiations to recruit Keylor Navas.
Relegated to the rank of simple understudy for Gianluigi Donnarumma since last summer, the 36-year-old goalkeeper plays little (only one match this season, against Chteauroux in the Coupe de France, 3-1) but he weighs on Parisian finances due to his high salary (about 1 million euros monthly). A departure would therefore be welcome and Al-Nasser is making the Costa Rican his priority following the serious injury of his goalkeeper David Ospina, who broke his elbow on Saturday against Al Shabab (0-0) and who risks missing several months of competition.
What about sports?
Able to maintain large moluments at the Parisian, Al-Nassr hopes to finalize his arrival during his stay there. It remains to be seen whether Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex-teammate at Real Madrid will also be tempted by the call from the Gulf. A big financial week in perspective therefore for PSG, even if coach Christophe Galtier, angry after the new defeat on Sunday against Rennes (0-1), would certainly have preferred to work in the tranquility of the Camp des Loges…
