‘Super Agent’ Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘Trying to Convince Former Team-Mates Casemiro and Nacho Fernandez to Join Al Nassr in the Summer’ With an Eye on Closing the Gap to Al Hilal

After losing the King’s Cup of Champions final to Al Hilal on penalties and the Saudi Pro League title to the same opponents, Al Nassr will be looking to strengthen in the summer as they seek to close the gap to the champions.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a major selling point for Al Nassr, given his brilliance this season and record-breaking goalscoring exploits in the Saudi Pro League.

The Portuguese captain is reportedly involved in recruitment calls to two major targets: former teammates Casemiro and Nacho Fernandez.

A Marca report indicates that the Portuguese record scorer is personally taking the lead in trying to lure Casemiro and Nacho Fernandez to the Saudi Pro League, as they will help add quality to Al Nassr in preparation for a title charge next season.

Nacho was the captain for Real Madrid, as they picked up their 15th European Cup title last Saturday and emerged as 2-0 winners against Borussia Dortmund. This was Nacho’s sixth European medal, which put him in an exclusive club, including Real Madrid legends Gento, Dani Carvajal, Toni Kroos, and Luca Modric.

Nacho’s contract is approaching its end, and the 34-year-old could be looking for an alternative to the Santiago Bernabeu. News has linked him to the MLS and the Saudi Pro League.

Casemiro has had a torrid season so far, marked by poor form for Manchester United, who finished 8th despite winning the FA Cup against Manchester City at Wembley. Manchester United could be open to selling the Brazilian, with Casemiro also looking for a fresh start elsewhere.

Cristiano Ronaldo would play a crucial role if these two players were to end up plying their trade in the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr next season.
