transfer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/topic\/neymar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neymar<\/a>&#8216;s switch from Paris Saint-Germain to Al Hilal in 2023 is the current record, standing at around \u00a377m.<\/p>\n<p>Al Nassr are keen to bolster their already stacked front line which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/who\/cristiano-ronaldo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>, Jhon Duran, <a href=\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/who\/sadio-mane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sadio Mane<\/a> and Angelo Gabriel.<\/p>\n<p>And Ghana international Kudus has been identified as their number one target as they look to win their first league title since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Kudus has been on the club&#8217;s radar all year having made an approach to sign him during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s understood that he boasts a Saudi specific release clause of \u00a3120m, which is valid from July 1-10.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, his \u00a385m buyout clause for Premier League clubs becomes active this summer.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear at this stage whether Kudus would be prepared to swap England for the Gulf nation.<\/p>\n<p>Though Al Nassr are confident they can agree a deal with West Ham well below the \u00a3120m release clause.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\"
