Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr are reportedly set to reunite Cristiano Ronaldo with his former Manchester United teammate Casemiro.

Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr are reportedly set to pull off a stunning transfer coup by reuniting Cristiano Ronaldo with his former Manchester United teammate Casemiro.

According to the latest reports, the Saudi Pro League side is preparing a mouthwatering €100 million bid to lure the Brazilian midfielder to the Middle East.

Casemiro, who has endured a difficult second season at Old Trafford, appears to have fallen out of favour under Erik ten Hag, with the 32-year-old not even making the squad for the Red Devils' recent FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

The former Real Madrid star featured 32 times for United last season, but his form was hampered by a spate of injuries, leading to speculation about his future at the club.

Now, it seems that Casemiro could be set for a remarkable reunion with his former international teammate Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr as a free agent after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

"Al Nassr are ready to offer around €90-100m to sign Casemiro this summer. He is a priority target for the Saudi club, and the player is said to be keen on the move," per DeadlineDaylive on Twitter.

The potential transfer would see Casemiro and Ronaldo, who enjoyed a successful partnership at Real Madrid, link up once again in the Saudi Pro League, as Al Nassr look to bolster their squad and challenge for domestic and continental honours.

This latest development is sure to be a major talking point in the world of football should it come to life, as the Saudi club continues to flex its financial muscle in the transfer market.
