Cristiano Ronaldo is 'trying to convince his former Man United and Real Madrid team-mate Casemiro to join him at Al-Nassr' as he seeks to close the gap to Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to bring in some former Real Madrid team-mates to close the gap between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal ran away with the league this season and left Ronaldo in tears after beating Al-Nassr on penalties in Friday's King Cup of Champions final.

Ronaldo holds a lot of weight at the club and Spanish outlet Marca report that he is actively trying to encourage them to sign two players.

The first of those is Casemiro, a player with whom the Portuguese won multiple Champions League titles at Madrid before the pair teamed up again at Manchester United.

Casemiro looks set to leave United this summer with all signs pointing to the midfielder making his way to Saudi Arabia. 

Marca claim Ronaldo believes the Brazilian will add the consistency that Al-Nassr need to keep up with Al-Hilal, who did not lose a single game in the 2023-24 season.

According to the report, Ronaldo has also started putting in the groundwork for the signing of another Madrid legend.

Spanish defender Nacho Fernandez was the man to lift the trophy at the end of Saturday's Champions League final and he has already informed the club of his intention to leave.

Marca say Ronaldo has called the Los Blancos captain over the past week in an attempt to make him consider a move to Al-Nassr.

Nacho has also been linked with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, but Ronaldo is trying to tempt him to the Middle East instead of the US.
