Goalie’s Desert Dream: Manchester to Saudi…
In a plot twist wilder than a midfield dribble, Saudi Pro League’s latest contestant, Neom SC, is looking to snatch Manchester United’s goalie Andre Onana faster than a striker stealing candy from a sleepy defender! Less than two whirlwinds of a year since Onana landed at Old Trafford for a wallet-busting £47million lightning bolt, Neom is ready to toss a £35 million treasure chest at him. With only 11 clean sheets in 50 matches and goal-blunders smellier than a forgotten fish pie, the Cameroonian might just be donning a turban and sipping match tea in sandy stadiums this summer.
The eye-popping proposal is backed by Scrooge McDuck’s cousins themselves, the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Owning teams that sound like a royal buffet – Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Nassr – PIF are here to invest in football like a kid in a candy store. Neom, the nouveau riche newbies to the league’s golden egg, saw their stocks rise after a shopping spree takeover. Is Onana ready to battle the Arabian sun and join this shiny bazaar of football?
Words flying wild and free like team spirit have reached fans’ ears: Onana wants to stay, declaring his love for some Mancunian rain and a splash of red devil drama. “It’s like bringing snow to the desert,” they say. Will he dive deeper into Manchester rainstorms or sail to sandy shores? With Euro goals slipping through his fingers like sand, only the football gods – and Neom’s bank vaults – will decide his fate! Keep your eyes peeled for this footie fable, folks!
