The Saudi Pro League’s Interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers Goalkeeper Jose Sa To Have Implications on Arsenal’s Ramsdale
Aaron Ramsdale has endured a tough time at Arsenal as new signing David Raya has replaced him.
As Arsenal have stepped up their title credentials this season, the change between the sticks has seen last season’s number one goalkeeper, Ramsdale, relegated to the sidelines as Raya has starred.
Ramsdale is about to get a Premier League lifeline, with the Saudi Pro League’s interest in Wolves’ number one goalkeeper Jose Sa set to create a vacancy at the Molineux club.
According to the Sun, Wolves are interested in Aaron Ramsdale as a replacement for the 31-year-old Jose Sa, who is being pursued by the Saudi Pro League. The Molineux club will likely cash in on their number one shot-stopper for as much as £40 million ($49m).
The likely Jose Sa move to the Saudi Pro League will create a vacancy for a starting goalkeeper at Molineux, with Ramsdale a prime candidate. However, Wolves also consider other targets, including Liverpool understudy Caoimhim Kelleher and young Anthony Patterson of Sunderland.
Jose Sa’s move to the Saudi Pro League will come a year after he signed a new long-term contract at Molineux, keeping him until 2027 and with an option for an additional year until 2028.
The rumored deal underscores the Saudi Pro League’s continued ambition to improve the quality of its clubs by recruiting the best talent from across the world, including Europe.
