Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr is reportedly eyeing a double swoop to secure the services of Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro, according to a recent report.
Encouraged by Ronaldo himself, Al-Nassr is ready to make significant offers to lure both players away from the Premier League giants. The Daily Mail reveals that football director John Murtough has flown to Saudi Arabia to assess the feasibility of deals with Pro League clubs.
The Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro, who commands a hefty £375,000-per-week salary, is the primary target. Al-Nassr is also prepared to make a bid for Wan-Bissaka, especially after a £20m proposal for Tottenham’s Emerson Royal was rejected.
Manchester United, facing the prospect of losing both players, hopes to recoup some of the £70m they paid for Casemiro. Ronaldo’s influence in pursuing the former Real Madrid star adds intrigue to the potential transfers, while Wan-Bissaka’s stalled contract talks may pave the way for a move to the Middle East.
The next steps for Manchester United remain uncertain, with questions lingering about whether deals will materialize in the January transfer window. The club’s immediate focus is on the upcoming FA Cup clash against Newport County this weekend.
