In a shocking transfer twist, Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly urged the club to pursue the signing of his former teammate Casemiro from Manchester United.
The two football legends previously played together at Real Madrid and later reunited at Manchester United, and Ronaldo is keen to reunite with his friend and teammate once again.
According to sources, Ronaldo has expressed his interest in having Casemiro join Al-Nassr as part of the club’s efforts to strengthen its squad and compete effectively against Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. With Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr uncertain, due to his £177 million-a-year contract set to expire this summer, he is eager to see the team bolstered to ensure success in the upcoming season.
Manchester United may be willing to offload the 32-year-old Brazilian to free up funds for manager Ruben Amorim’s transfer plans
Casemiro, who joined Manchester United from Real Madrid in 2022 for £70 million, earns a whopping £350,000 weekly and has been a key player for the Red Devils. However, reports suggest that Manchester United may be willing to offload the 32-year-old Brazilian to free up funds for manager Ruben Amorim’s transfer plans.
While it remains uncertain whether Al-Nassr will secure Casemiro’s services in the ongoing transfer window, Ronaldo’s influence and persuasion may play a significant role in convincing the club to make a move for the talented midfielder. The potential reunion of Ronaldo and Casemiro would be a major coup for Al-Nassr, and football fans around the world will be eagerly watching to see if this transfer saga unfolds.
