Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr Eyeing to Thwart MLS’ Ambitions to Sign Marco Reus – Reports

Signal Iduna Park was stunned as iconic figure Marco Reus announced his departure at the end of the season. At 34, injuries have often impacted the German midfielder’s momentum but retirement was still far away. The story till now was that Inter Miami was the leading contender for the playmaker’s signature. However, it seems that the Herons’ job has gotten much harder as Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr reportedly joined the party.

According to the reports, MLS side St Louis City and Al Nassr are keen on the Borussia Dortmund man. The reports indicate that nothing has been decided yet and Reus wants to listen to all the offers. Moreover, his wife also has a considerable say in the star’s future. While Reus has not publicly given his preference, his friend Samir Nasri has made an important revelation. Nasri said, “He (Reus) said he loves football too much to quit right now and will go to MLS next season.” Could Reus be set to snub Cristiano Ronaldo for a second time?

The German icon was previously asked to pick between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Notably, Reus had preferred the Argentine icon. Could his admiration for Messi influence his move? It is worth noting that Reus will arrive as a free agent as his contract expires in June.

As far as squad chemistry goes, Reus fits better at Al Nassr than Inter Miami. The Al Nassr midfield lacks a playmaker with Reus’ vision. At Inter Miami, Messi does this job. And, joining Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. would be a mutually beneficial decision for all parties. However, Reus is not the only big name the Knights of Najd are targeting.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr plotting a move for superstar midfielder

The name Casemiro needs no introduction. With 5 Champions Leagues under his belt, the Brazilian will go down in the history books as a midfield great. However, at 32, Casemiro is no longer the physical specimen he once was. As a result, his performance this season has been sub-par. While he has fallen out of favor with the Old Trafford fanbase, reports revealed that Al Nassr has made an official bid for Casemiro.

Reuniting with former teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Alex Telles might interest Casemiro. However, French giants PSG is also said to hold an interest in the holding midfielder. Spanish tactician Luis Enrique is not impressed by his #6 options. With PSG keen to revamp their squad for next season, Casemiro has an opportunity to prolong his stay in Europe. Is it the best option for him? Let us know in the comments below.
