Saturday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo certainly followed Real Madrid’s new consecration on the European scene from a distance. Falling from Borussia Dortmund (2-0), the Madrid club, in fact, celebrated the 15th Champions League in its history. A disconcerting sporting success necessarily contrasting with the last months experienced by the Portuguese in Saudi Arabia. Defeated by Al-Hilal in the final of the King of Champions Cup, the former Merengues scorer thus ended a season without the slightest title with Al-Nassr. As a reminder, the Riyadh club failed in second place in the Championship and did not advance beyond the quarter-finals in the Asian Champions League.
A disappointing result for the Saudi team, which has never hidden its intention to reign over the Saudi Pro League. Determined to take his revenge on Neymar’s gang, the one who is preparing to play Euro 2024 with Portugal has therefore established an unequivocal strategy: use his proximity to Casa Blanca to strengthen Al-Nassr. In this context, Marca announced this Sunday that the Lusitano international (206 caps, 128 goals) approached two former Real Madrid teammates. The first is none other than Nacho.

In addition to the native of Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo also directly called Casemiro, today in the colors of Manchester United, eighth in the last Premier League exercise.
Aware of the quality of the Auriverde international (75 caps, 7 goals), the one who scored 44 goals and delivered 13 assists in 45 matches in all competitions this season would, in fact, like to attract the Red Devils midfielder, under contract until June 2026. A new challenge which could also appeal to the main interested party, especially given the difficulties currently encountered by the residents of Old Trafford. If the task promises to be complex, CR7 nevertheless seems determined to use its network to offer a second wind to Al-Nassr. Case(s) to be continued…
