Roberto Firmino’s Team in Saudi Arabia Could Sign World Cup-Winning Midfielder
In their continued efforts to bolster their squad, Al Ahli has made a formal bid of €32 million to Atlético Madrid for the services of World Cup winner Rodrigo de Paul. After negotiations, the club has also presented a contract proposal to the player’s camp.
After the breakdown of discussions with Napoli’s Piotr Zielinski, Al Ahli has swiftly shifted their attention to Rodrigo de Paul, who clinched the 2022 World Cup title with Argentina. The club has already initiated talks with Atlético Madrid and the player, indicating their strong intent to secure his talents.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the progression of talks, and Al Ahli’s proactive approach is evident with the submission of a formal bid and contract proposal. If successful, this move would add another significant name to Al Ahli’s roster, which has already witnessed notable acquisitions, including Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino, and Franck Kessie.
Rodrigo de Paul, aged 29, has been a part of Atlético Madrid since 2021, transferring from Udinese. His contribution as a key player in Argentina’s World Cup triumph further solidifies his reputation as a top-notch midfielder. As discussions unfold, Al Ahli fans wait for updates on the potential addition of Rodrigo de Paul to their squad, which continues to grow in stature.
