<p>According to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33107240/mateo-kovacic-man-city-transfer-al-nassr/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a><em>, </em>Al-Nassr have been closely <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-man-city-saudi-pro-league-side-usd65m-annual-salary/blt5fd606e5998e240c#cs925dd2b2161bbb4f" target="_blank">monitoring Kovacic</a>, hoping to add him to their squad as a marquee signing. However, despite their interest, no official approach has been made so far. One major obstacle complicating any potential deal is City's need to find a suitable replacement before allowing the former Chelsea midfielder to leave.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While City are not actively looking to offload Kovacic, they are exploring reinforcements in midfield. The club have shown interest in Juventus star Douglas Luiz, but negotiations over a loan deal have stalled due to disagreements between the two clubs.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Initially, Al-Nassr had aimed to complete Kovacic’s signing before the summer transfer window closed, but difficulties in adjusting their foreign player quota prevented them from finalizing the move. However, the Saudi giants are not stopping at Kovacic. Reports indicate that Al-Nassr is preparing a massive £140 million ($174m) raid on the Premier League, targeting multiple high-profile players before the Saudi transfer deadline.</p><p>One of their key targets is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-make-massive-bid-brighton-kaoru-mitoma-after-jhon-duran-transfer/blt663498207790aa04" target="_blank">Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran</a>, who is expected to finalize a £64 million ($80m) move to Riyadh. The Colombian striker is set to travel to Saudi Arabia on Friday to complete his medical and sign his contract, joining Ronaldo in Al-Nassr’s attacking lineup. They have also set their sights on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-al-nassr-make-massive-bid-brighton-kaoru-mitoma-after-jhon-duran-transfer/blt663498207790aa04" target="_blank">Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma</a>, tabling an astonishing £90 million ($112m) bid for the Japanese winger.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Al-Nassr’s aggressive pursuit of Premier League stars highlights their determination to bolster their squad with world-class talent. After signing Ronaldo, they are yet to conquer the Saudi top flight and their latest transfer ambitions signal their intent to change that trend. </p>
