Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr make contact over deal for Real Madrid star | OneFootball

A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has made his way onto the transfer wishlist of those in the boardroom at Saudi outfit Al-Nassr.

That’s according to market insider Sacha Tavolieri, who points towards Rodrygo as the player in question.

Frontman Rodrygo has of course been hotly tipped for a move away from Spain’s capital across the summer to date.

Struggling for game-time at the Club World Cup under the watch of new head coach Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian is understood to be available for transfer for the right price.

And with as much in mind, an audacious approach has this weekend been revealed on the part of one of Saudi football’s leading clubs…

As per a report from the aforementioned Sacha Tavolieri, writing for Sky Sports:

‘In search of a new star to partner Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr have launched an assault on Rodrygo. With a (nearly) unlimited budget for this transfer period, the Saudis have approached the Brazilian striker’s entourage to gauge the player’s interest in a possible departure to an exotic destination.’

It now remains to be seen if a move to the Middle East this early in his career appeals to Rodrygo himself.
