Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr has launched an ambitious bid to acquire two of Ghana’s most exciting attacking talents, with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo both on their radar.
The Riyadh-based club, home to Cristiano Ronaldo, is preparing a €100 million offer for Kudus after failing to secure his signature during the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old Kudus reportedly has a €120 million release clause specifically for Saudi clubs, active only during a narrow July 1-10 window. While respected transfer journalist Ben Jacobs suggests West Ham might accept slightly below this figure, questions remain about whether the Ghanaian international would prioritize financial gain over Premier League competition.
Al Nassr’s interest extends to Bournemouth’s breakout star Semenyo, whose eight-goal Premier League campaign has turned heads across Europe. The 24-year-old’s physicality and finishing ability would complement an attack already featuring Ronaldo, Sadio Mané, and recent signing Jhon Durán.
The potential double swoop represents Saudi Arabia’s continued aggressive recruitment strategy targeting Africa’s elite talent. For Kudus, the move would mean reuniting with former Ajax teammate Sébastien Haller while playing alongside global superstars. However, it would also take him away from the world’s most competitive league just as his career reaches new heights.
Ghanaian football fans are divided on the prospect, with some advocating for their stars to remain at Europe’s top level, while others recognize the life-changing financial opportunities Saudi Arabia presents. As the summer transfer window approaches, these potential moves could significantly impact both players’ careers and Ghana’s national team preparations for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Al Nassr’s substantial financial muscle can pry away two of Ghana’s most valuable football exports from the Premier League spotlight. For Kudus and Semenyo, the decision goes beyond economics – it’s a choice between immediate rewards and long-term sporting legacy.
