David Ospina will have to spend three to four months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery for a broken elbow, so Al Nassr, his team, must strengthen. 'Relevo' claims that Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita and Boca Juniors' Agustin Rossi are the main candidates, but not to choose between them, but to secure both.

Cristiano Ronaldo may soon be welcoming two new goalkeepers to Al Nassr, with the Portuguese's new club missing David Ospina, who broke his elbow in the match against Al Shabab and has already undergone surgery, for three to four months. As a result, Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita and Boca Juniors' Agustin Rossi have been linked with Saudi Arabia to strengthen their goalkeeping position.

'Relevo' mentions that these are the goalkeepers that the team's sporting management is working with. The plan is not to sign just one of them, but to get both of them to compete for the position, although, in principle, the 'Xeneize' keeper would have more options to be the first-choice goalkeeper. The 'Eagles' player is also having playing time in the Premier League, so the starting place in the line-ups would be contested.

The source mentioned in the previous paragraph specifies that the former Getafe, Recreativo de Huelva and Valencia player already has an offer on the table. His salary would be three million euros net for the remaining six months of the season, even though he has already renewed his contract in England. 

To get Guaita, Al Nassr will first have to negotiate with Crystal Palace. His market value is less than one million euros, so it is quite likely that the Saudi Arabian side could easily convince their representatives.
