Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr currently sits in fourth place in the Saudi Pro League, sparking questions about whether the team needs to strengthen its squad.
Amid this speculation, rumors have emerged surrounding the club. Reports suggest that the Portuguese star is eager for a close friend of his to make the move from Manchester City to join him at Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo pushes for Man City superstar transfer to Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly on a mission to bring Kevin De Bruyne to Al Nassr, with sources close to the Portuguese star revealing that he has personally urged the Saudi club to make an irresistible offer for the Belgian midfielder.
As Ronaldo continues to shine for Al Nassr, he believes that signing De Bruyne would significantly boost the Saudi Pro League’s profile and bring a new level of quality to the competition.
De Bruyne, who has been a key player for Manchester City since 2015, is facing an uncertain future at the club.
With his contract expiring at the end of this season, there has been no clear indication about whether the Belgian will extend his stay with the Premier League champions.
His contract situation has sparked rumors about a potential move, and at 33 years old, De Bruyne could be open to exploring new opportunities, particularly in leagues like the Saudi Pro League, which offers lucrative financial packages.
Ronaldo’s push for a blockbuster signing
Ronaldo, who has experienced the transformative power of a move to Saudi Arabia, is convinced that De Bruyne would be a game-changing signing for Al Nassr.
Reports suggest that Ronaldo has directly appealed to the club’s management to pursue the midfielder with a deal that would be too good to turn down.

With De Bruyne earning £300,000 a week at Manchester City, the Saudi Pro League’s financial offers may be a tempting opportunity for the Belgian as he nears the final stages of his career.
Although De Bruyne is currently recovering from an injury, his influence on the field remains undeniable.
With over 100 goals and 170+ assists for Manchester City, his arrival in Saudi Arabia could elevate the league to even greater heights.
