"With the legend," he posted on Instagram.

The Cameroonian forward is on the radar of several clubs, with English titans Manchester United and Turkish giants Besiktas reportedly interested in the lanky forward.

His contract with Al-Nassr was reportedly terminated to make way for ex-Manchester United star, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The former FC Porto star is expected to seal a deal in the winter transfer window, after a magnificent showing in Qatar. Aboubakar scored two goals at the World Cup, with one nominated for the best goal of the tournament.

He was Cameroon's goal king as the country finished third at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021.

Aboubakar makes history against Brazil

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Aboubakar was in top form of his life on December 2, as he scored the lone goal to help Cameroon beat Brazil in their last group game at the 2022 World Cup.

Although the goal did not help the Indomitable Lions qualify for the round of 16, beating the mighty Samba Boys at the tournament will remain one of the country's biggest achievements.

Interestingly, Cameroon are now the first African nation in history to beat Brazil in Mundial history, which is an impressive and amazing record.

Aboubakar grabbed headlines once again at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with a huge goal for his country against Brazil.

He lobbed in a header in stoppage time to give Cameroon maximum points against the five-time world champions.

Even though it was a massively changed side from Tite, the win was a first on many fronts, including being the first goal the Selecao had conceded in Qatar.
