Cristiano Ronaldo may be joined by five Premier League players to form new all-star side | Football | Sport

Here, Express Sport speculates who could join him in the Middle East from those in the Premier League who are coming to the end of their contracts as the Saudi side look to form an all-star XI. 

N’Golo Kante 

The Frenchman has already been linked with a move to the Pro League with Foot Mercato reporting that Al Nassr will look to sign the 31-year-old. Kante’s performances suggest he still has something to offer at the top level but he has been stunted by recurring injuries in recent years and as such may be forced to play in a league with a lower intensity. 

Thiago Silva 

Should Al Nassr be unable to convince Ramos to come to the club they may turn their attention to Silva instead. The 38-year-old is yet to sign a new deal at Chelsea and it looks increasingly unlikely that he will extend his stay. He could therefore be tempted with a move to the Pro League for a season or two in order to give a significant boost to his finances before his retirement.

Willian 

The Brazilian has already spent time in traditionally poorer league for big money during his spell with Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013 and could be tempted to do the same again for Al Nassr. The winger has been a regular starter for Fulham over the course of the year but is yet to sign a new contract with the club and may move on if they decide to start planning for the future. The Pro League could await if they do.
