Saudi Arabia authorities are eyeing a sensational double Manchester City swoop ahead of the summer transfer window reopening, according to stunning reports.

Clubs in Saudi Arabia are set to reinforce their teams ahead of the new season following a busy transfer window last summer.

Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kante and Roberto Firmino, among many others, swapped the Premier League for the Saudi Pro League.

And Saudi Arabia are going to once again test the resolve of Man City for two of their players during the summer transfer window.

According to Martin Blackburn, Saudi Arabia chiefs are interested in signing Kyle Walker and Matheus Nunes.

Walker, who was linked with a move to Bayern Munich at the start of the season, made 32 league appearances as he captained his side to their fourth consecutive league title.

He's been an ever present at Man City since his transfer from Tottenham back in the summer of 2017.

The 32-year-old has played 301 games in all competitions for the Blues, winning an impressive six league titles and the Champions League in their treble-winning campaign.

He penned a new deal last year, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2026.

As for Nunes, he played a bit-part role this campaign following his £53 million transfer from Wolves last summer.

He made 28 appearances in all competitions as he struggled for regular minutes and started just seven games in the league, with reports suggesting his future lies away from the Etihad.

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are also thought to be keeping tabs on the Portuguese midfielder, who is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes.

Walker and Nunes won't be the only players that Saudi Arabia authorities monitor ahead of the summer transfer window reopening.

They remain hellbent on securing the services of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah while Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a move to the Middle East, too.
