Al Nassr wants to 'reunited Ronaldo with Ramos'

The contract of Sergio Ramos and PSG will expire in June 2023. According to Marca, Al Nassr is planning to sign the 36-year-old midfielder on a free transfer.

With the appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi club believes it can convince the former Real captain. Ramos and Ronaldo used to be teammates at Real. They competed together from 2009 to 2018, winning two La Ligas and four Champions Leagues.

Al Nassr announced a two-year contract with Ronaldo on the morning of December 31, 2022. The Portuguese striker will receive a salary of $ 75 million per year at Al Nassr. His weekly salary is more than a million USD, not including the sale of image rights. Al Nassr did not pay a transfer fee, because Ronaldo liquidated his contract with Man Utd on November 22.

Al Nassr was born in 1955. They have won 9 times Saudi Arabia, once won the Asian Cup C2 and once reached the final of the Asian Cup C1 Cup. Al Nassr's current coach Rudi Garcia helped Lille win Ligue 1 and the French Cup in 2011 and led Marseille to the final of the 2017-2018 Europa League.

According to European media, the recruitment of Ronaldo by Al Nassr is partly to promote the campaign to win the right to host the 2030 World Cup. If successful, the Middle East will host the second World Cup within eight years. , after the 2022 World Cup has just ended in Qatar.

Ramos once scored 101 goals for Real. He is also the defender with the most goals for the Bernabeu team. In 2021, Ramos left Real on a free transfer. The two parties parted due to disagreement over contract duration and salary.

In the first season with PSG, things did not go really smoothly for Ramos. Due to injury, the 36-year-old midfielder only appeared in 13 matches and scored twice. However, the wind starts to change from the 2022-2023 season. In the first phase, Ramos made 20 appearances and scored one goal.

Ramos' good form also goes hand in hand with PSG's achievements. The Parc des Princes team has not lost a match since the beginning of the 2022-2023 season, won the French Super Cup, is leading in Ligue 1, is about to meet Bayern in the 1/8 round of the Champions League and has a chance in the French Cup.
