Al-Nassr shows interest in signing Roma defender Evan Ndicka
Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, are weighing a move for Evan Ndicka, the 25-year-old Ivorian centre-back currently under contract with AS Roma until 2028, sources in Italy report.
Roma Reluctant, But Big Offer Could Change Stance
Ndicka joined Roma on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt, meaning any sale would be pure profit for the Serie A club. For now, Roma have no plans to part with the defender, but insiders admit that a “financially compelling” proposal could force them to reconsider.
While no formal bid has yet been lodged, the interest from Al-Nassr is described as serious. Ndicka is also attracting attention from Premier League sides including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United.
Solid Track Record in Serie A
Since his arrival, Ndicka has made 85 appearances for Roma across all competitions, becoming a defensive mainstay. His current deal until 2028 gives the Italian side strong leverage in any negotiations, boosting his potential market value.
Valuation and Saudi Strategy
Ndicka’s estimated market value stands at €30 million (about R$190 million). This figure, sourced from Transfermarkt, is seen as a reference point rather than a fixed asking price.
Al-Nassr’s pursuit of the Ivorian defender underscores Saudi Arabia’s ongoing strategy of targeting high-profile European players during the summer transfer window.
