The Blues Waves even in the absence of injured star player Neymar are in red-hot form on the pitch. They currently remain 10 points clear of Al Nassr. It looks like they could make a big transfer move which could act as the difference-maker and enable them to run away with the title. According to reports, Al Hilal has entered the race for the signature of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro. This could be a big setback for Al Nassr who was looking to reunite the Brazilian midfielder with his ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Al Hilal also has the squad space ready for the midfielder for the rest of the season.
