Saudi club Al-Nassr is making waves in the football world with potential plans for what could be the most high-profile managerial transfer in sports history. Reports indicate that the club, where Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays, is in negotiations with Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City.
The discussions come amid speculation about Guardiola’s possible exit from Manchester City, with Al-Nassr looking to take advantage of this situation to entice him to the Saudi Pro League. The club has reportedly proposed a remarkable annual salary of $150 million for Guardiola.
If accepted, this contract would position Guardiola as the highest-paid head coach in world football, surpassing all previous records.
Earlier reports suggested that Guardiola might take a year-long sabbatical after concluding his tenure with Manchester City and consider stepping away from club football in Europe entirely.
