Cristiano Ronaldo Eyes Manchester United Star for Saudi Move
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Contract Situation
As the summer approaches, a number of top football stars find themselves out of contract and free to sign deals with other teams on a precontract basis. One such player is Cristiano Ronaldo, whose current deal with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia is set to expire. However, his future with the club is not guaranteed.
Ronaldo’s Options
While Ronaldo has expressed his interest in continuing his career in Saudi Arabia, where he has established a strong business presence and aligned himself with the Saudi brand, reports from Marca suggest that he is also considering a move to Major League Soccer. This potential move would see him face off against his long-time rival Lionel Messi.
The Role of Casemiro
Interestingly, it has been revealed that regardless of where Ronaldo ends up next, he is keen on having Manchester United midfielder Casemiro by his side. Casemiro is considered one of Ronaldo’s most loyal teammates on the pitch, and his presence would be a significant factor in Ronaldo’s decision-making process.
Negotiations and Reunion
If Al-Nassr and Saudi Arabia wish to retain Ronaldo’s services, they will need to navigate tricky negotiations, especially considering the 39-year-old’s stature in the game. However, securing the signature of Casemiro could play a vital role in convincing Ronaldo to stay. The duo enjoyed success together at Real Madrid, where they won three consecutive Champions League titles, and were briefly reunited at Manchester United before Ronaldo’s departure.
