Speculation Swirls as Two Man Utd Stars Linked with Potential Move to Join Ronaldo at Al-Nassr

According to a recent report, Al-Nassr, the team managed by Cristiano Ronaldo, is reportedly considering making a surprising move to sign both Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.

In an audacious move, Al-Nassr is reportedly planning a bid for both Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as Manchester United looks to offload some of their high-earning players.

Last month, it was revealed by Mail Sport that Manchester United's football director, John Murtough, traveled to Riyadh to explore potential transfer deals for several players who are available for transfer.

Casemiro, who currently earns £375,000 per week, holds the title of the highest earner at Manchester United. However, the Brazilian midfielder, who will turn 32 next month, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the beginning of November. United is open to the possibility of selling him in the upcoming summer transfer window, as long as they can recoup a significant portion of the £70 million fee they paid to acquire him from Real Madrid last year.

Al-Nassr is reportedly prepared to make a substantial offer to Casemiro, with the influence of his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo potentially playing a role in the decision. The Saudi club is also considering a move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka this month, following an unsuccessful £20 million bid for Tottenham right-back Emerson Royal last week.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka's future at Old Trafford is currently uncertain, as Manchester United triggered the 12-month extension in his contract back in December, opting not to offer him a new long-term deal.

Reports suggest that the 26-year-old's agents held contract discussions with Manchester United earlier this month, but the outcome of those talks was reportedly not positive. As a result, Wan-Bissaka's future at the club remains in question.

Despite interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham, it is unlikely that they will be able to match the potential offer from Al-Nassr for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Another Manchester United player, Jadon Sancho, has also been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League. However, he rejected a move to Al-Ettifaq earlier this season and instead joined Borussia Dortmund on loan.

Manchester United is currently covering a portion of Sancho's weekly salary of £290,000 while he is on loan in Germany. The club is keen to offload him to reduce their wage bill.

Regarding Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial, who currently earn £340,000 and £250,000 respectively, they have not been offered contract extensions and are expected to depart as free agents in the summer. However, Varane may potentially stay longer if he agrees to a reduced salary.
