Are Al-Nassr rivals trying to stop Casemiro from reuniting with Cristiano Ronaldo? Well, striking details have emerged for a potential transfer. Casemiro transitioned to Manchester United from Real Madrid 15 months ago and swiftly left a great impression under Erik ten Hag. Unfortunately, the 31-year-old has faced a decline in performance this season. Many believed that this would lead him to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. However, it is not going to be easy, as the rivals of the Saudi club are on a mission to snap him up. 

Ever since the Brazilian showed signs of slowing down with Manchester United, the Saudi Pro League hierarchy expressed interest in the seasoned player. Earlier, CR7’s club showed considerable interest in Casemiro, but now their rivals have also shown equal interest, and this ended up in his transfer getting more complex.

Recently, the X handle of Al Nassr Zone wrote about various options that Casemiro has in the Middle East that would change his future for the better. They wrote, “Two Saudi clubs want to sign Casemiro in the winter window.” Many speculate that Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are the other potential clubs the Bazilian defensive midfielder can consider joining.

The 31-year-old joined Ten Hag’s Manchester United last year in August, and within a short time, he played a significant role in uplifting the team’s defensive solidity. Back then, Ten Hag was facing widespread criticism for the team’s poor performance under his management. After that, the Brazilian soccer star almost became the savior of the team as he assisted United in attaining an impressive top-four finish in the Premier League.
