Strong, very strong temptation. With ten million good reasons to wink at an offer that is difficult to refuse, certainly impossible to achieve for anyone who wants to try. He is always the protagonist, Nahitan Nández from Punta del Este, the future is the central theme, the expiring contract with the Cagliari next June to determine. In one Rome who thinks about it without too many doubts and the millions of the Middle East to put more than a flea in Léon’s ear.
Call
Marcelo Gallardo he knows Nández well, after all the derbies between his River Plate and Boca Juniors marked a sporting rivalry between those who coached the Millonarios and the midfielder who lived those battles to the full with the Xeneize shirt. The Argentine coach, now on the bench ofAl Ittihad, has put the Uruguayan born in ’95 among the objectives for next summer. Taking advantage of the contract expires next June and a renewal that seems anything but possible. And, above all, by putting the petrodollars of the PIF fund, owners of the Jeddah club and, in fact, the Saudi state in all respects. While on the one hand the Italian growth decree could give Nández the same benefits in the event of purchasing a house in Italy or the birth of a child, with a 50% reduction in taxes on employment – as happened in almost five years in the rossoblù – on the other the Saudi League is unattainable on the tax issue. In fact, no dollars to pay into the coffers of the Arab state, with a salary that would go 100% into the pockets of the León of Punta del Este.
Money, lots of it
The numbers are mind-boggling, the ten million good reasons in the incipit are not a coincidence. Because Al Ittihad, in the person of the sporting director Ramón Planesis ready to put just one on the plate seven-figure salary to convince Nández to transfer to Saudi Arabia. Three years of contract, the need to stay at least a year and a half in Jeddah to take advantage of the tax benefits, a temporary lifestyle choice that would put aside the purely sporting aspect to allow the economic one to win. Of course, in Al Ittihad in addition to Gallardo, León would also find various players Benzema And Kante – and not only that – but between the Saudi League and, perhaps, the Champions League with the shirt of Rome of De Rossi there would be no comparison from a technical point of view. But the ten million good reasons are a temptation that is difficult to banish. First, it goes without saying, we have to end the season with the shirt of Cagliari without sparing effort and effort, reach salvation and then the future will become the present. Saudi Arabia pushes, Nández thinks and evaluates. For an offer that is difficult if not impossible to refuse, even if with León surprises are always around the corner.
