Ospina quits Napoli amid Al-Nassr links

David Ospina has been released from Napoli and was linked with Lazio, but it’s now reported he’ll join Al-Nassr for a bumper payday.

The Colombia international was first choice for the 2021-22 season under coach Luciano Spalletti.

However, with news Alex Meret has agreed a contract extension, it means the Italian will get the gloves in future.

Ospina’s current deal runs out on June 30 and will not be renewed.

He was linked with a possible move to Lazio, where he would reunite with former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, or a move to Spain with Villarreal.

However, according to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, the man who turns 34 in August has agreed terms with Al-Nassr instead.

It is suggested he will earn €3.5m per season for two years in the Saudi Pro League.

Ospina’s previous clubs were Atletico Nacional, OGC Nice, Arsenal and then he joined Napoli in 2018.

The veteran shot-stopper has 124 caps for Colombia.
