Saudi giants Al-Nassr ‘hope to complete Cristiano Ronaldo transfer on January 1.. and reunite him with Sergio Ramos’

AL-NASSR are allegedly hoping to confirm Cristiano Ronaldo’s signing on January 1 - and they want to reunite him with Sergio Ramos.

The 37-year-old legend is plotting his next move after being released by Manchester United following a bombshell interview with Sun columnist Piers Morgan.

The forward claimed he felt United had “betrayed” him and revealed he had “no respect” for Erik ten Hag before heading off to the World Cup.

Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr are now said to be closing in on a mega £173m-a-year contract with Ronaldo.

However, are claiming that they also have a number of other big names in their sights.

Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante has been mentioned as a possible target.

However, it now seems that after virtually securing Ronaldo, who has a medical scheduled, they are now after his former Real Madrid team-mate Ramos.

They claim that Al-Nassr's president and sporting director are planning for a trip to Madrid to work on a deal for the 36-year-old defender, who is currently at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spaniard has suffered a terrible time with injury ever since his departure from the Bernabeu to Parc des Princes in 2021.

His contract runs out in France at the end of the season and the Ligue 1 side may decide to get him off their wage bill early next month once the transfer window re-opens.

Ramos and Ronaldo enjoyed huge success playing alongside each other in Madrid from 2009 to 2018.

They lifted the Champions League a whopping four times as well as tasting LaLiga glory twice.

Al-Nassr are one of Saudi Arabia’s most successful clubs and have been their domestic champions nine times, with their most recent title success coming in 2019.
