The Portuguese superstar of the Saudi league is reportedly advocating for the recruitment of a key player from Manchester United during this winter transfer window.
Having settled in the Arabian Peninsula in January 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo aims to leverage his influence to assist his club Al-Nassr in executing a significant winter transfer campaign. While he has not taken on the role of sporting director for the Riyadh-based side, the 39-year-old forward has not hesitated to advise his employers.
Across the Pyrenees, Marca reveals that “CR7” has recommended a Manchester United stalwart who is rumoured to be leaving. With the Red Devils pushing him toward the exit, Casemiro, who is no longer part of the plans under new coach Ruben Amorim, has caught the attention of the Funchal native. Al-Nassr is frequently mentioned as a potential destination for the Brazilian midfielder.

Under contract with Manchester United until June 2026, the 32-year-old has managed to play 22 matches in all competitions during the 2024-2025 season, yet his playing time has drastically decreased since the appointment of the former Sporting Portugal coach.
With competition from Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, the Brazilian international has achieved just one meager start in the last seven Premier League matches.
