Cristiano Ronaldo handles different options for the future. Among them is to continue in the Saudi League but with a reinforced team, capable of fighting for the title against the powerful Al Hilal and the reborn Al Ittihad of Benzema, Laurent Blanc and Ramón Planes among others. Among those requests or wishes that the Portuguese intends to have to make a champion team is the reunion with Casemiro, with whom he shared a locker room for five seasons at Real Madrid.
The Brazilian, after a good start at Manchester United upon his arrival from Real Madrid, has been dragged down by the English team’s poor form. His third campaign, with a change of coach included, is being a torment for everyone and the former Madrid player does not escape it. Solutions are sought and his friend CR7 can provide them, as long as he finds that point of motivation necessary to continue in Saudi football.
Millionaire transfer from the Bernabéu to Old Trafford
Casemiro changed teams already with the summer 2022 market well advanced, even after playing in the European Super Cup as a Real Madrid player. The offer and the decision to change scene led him to accept an important proposal that came with 72 million euros for the white club, with thirteen more for objectives. There was no doubt. The consequence is that both met again, in this case at Old Trafford.
Alternatives for CR7 and one points to the United States
As MARCA reported, Cristiano Ronaldo, with a contract less than six months from its end, can freely choose his future. At Al Nassr he is more than just a player, he is the reference and his identification with Saudi Arabia is total and absolute, both in football and in the business world. It moves a lot of money and it is not easy to give it up.
In fact, the option of ending in the United States has reappeared. It won’t be easy, but what does seem certain is that he intends to live a third moment alongside Casemiro, who was his guardian, in the best moment of the two at Real Madrid, with the Champions League included. They were happy and they want to be happy again.
Al Nassr, waiting
It is costing Cristiano Ronaldo’s team more than necessary. Far away in the Saudi League, eleven points behind Al Ittihad, its main objective is the Asian Champions League, a competition in which it keeps all its options intact. In Riyadh they hope to keep the Portuguese under their control, but they know that it will not be easy and to do so they have to propose something attractive for CR7 and that means having Casemiro at their side.
