Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr plotting swap deal offer involving Sadio Mane for 22-year-old star from SPL rivals: Reports

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr are reportedly working on a swap deal that will see Al-Ahli midfielder Gabri Veiga join the club, with Sadio Mane heading in the opposite direction. The Saudi outfit are looking to strengthen their ranks this month after falling behind their rivals Al-Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League title.

Al-Nassr have sanctioned the sale of Brazilian midfielder Anderson Talisca to Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, leaving them light in attacking midfield. The club are willing to use a prominent member of their squad as a makeweight in their bid to find a solution to their problem.

As per @NFC1World on X, plans are in motion for the side to send Senegal international Sadio Mane to Al-Ahli this month, where he will be reunited with former Liverpool teammate Roberto Firmino. In his place, 22-year-old Spain U-21 international Gabri Veiga will join the Knights of Najd, having previously been linked with an exit from his club.

Veiga swapped Europe for the riches of Saudi Arabia in 2023, leaving Celta Vigo after a breakout season in LaLiga. This season, the midfielder has five goals and an assist in 16 league appearances for Al-Ahli, continuing to show his capability in front of goal.

Sadio Mane has five goals and seven assists in 17 league appearances for the Knights of Najd this season. A move to Al-Ahli will reunite him with national teammate Edouard Mendy in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo has borne the burden of goalscoring as admirably as ever with 20 goals across all competitions for the side this season. The move for Veiga is likely to provide the squad with a source of goals from midfield.
