Al-Nassr are in pursuit: Can Bruno say no when Ronaldo calls?

Al-Nassr have been perfect in the Saudi Pro League for ten rounds, topping the table and hinting at breaking the seven-year title drought. However, five rounds later, they are only third, sitting seven points behind the leaders, Al Hilal!

The alarms at Al-Awwal Park went off, as the title is slipping through the Riyadh side's hands again. However, the Global One won't give up without a fight and is determined to prevent the same nightmare from happening to it again.

Hence, Al-Nassr have eyed a top-notch reinforcement - none other than Bruno Fernandes!

According to Marca and the Saudi journalist Ekrem Konur, the Saudi side would be ready to offer the Manchester United captain a vast salary of almost $1 million per week ($938,000, to be precise), while Cristiano Ronaldo's impact could be a decisive factor.

Bruno had already had contact with Saudi Al Hilal during the previous June Transfer Window, and even claimed that United disappointed him by being willing to sell him, but Ruben Amorim prevented the deal from going through.

Still, the midfielder didn't mind moving to Asia, stating that the finances would be a crucial element for him. Al-Nassr easily checked that box and are ready to start the pursuit, though they won't be alone in that race.

Bruno: 'Manchester United wanted me to leave'

Namely, Marca claims that Al Hilal also want to give it one more try, as they were close to striking a deal with the Portuguese not so long ago. However, he'd arrive at Kingdom Arena only if Ruben Neves - who allegedly attracted the interest of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid - left.

Since joining the Red Devils six years ago from Sporting Lisbon for €65 million, Bruno has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and European football. He's made 311 appearances for the Old Trafford crew so far, scoring 96 goals.
