The transfer window is set to start in a few days as January closes in. All eyes again will be on the Saudi League clubs who are expected to spend huge money on the summer transfer window. But, unfortunately for Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo, they have suffered a setback. Raphael Varane has reportedly rejected the offer to reunite with him in Saudi Arabia as he recovers from the flu.

Raphael Varane has got game time for Manchester United before he missed the game against West Ham. However, his situation remains open ahead of the January transfer window.

Raphael Varane rejects possible January move to join Cristiano Ronaldo

There were rumors in the media that Manchester United were open to selling Raphael Varane in the January transfer window. This led to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr getting linked to a move. However, the latest reports have revealed that the move will not happen. Raphael Varane is not interested in transferring to any Saudi club this January. This would have been a great signing as Al Nassr would have gotten another Champions League winner as they are locked in a title fight with rivals Al Hilal.

Al Nassr are already working on selling some of their foreign players to make space for new signings. This is the second heartbreak the Al Nassr fans have got in recent weeks related to the January window. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed on Twitter that the Saudi giants are not in contact with Casemiro over a possible move next month.
