Both played with Cristiano Ronaldo. Al-Nassr targets two famous players at once
Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Al-Nassr is considered one of the pivotal moments in Saudi Arabian clubs' pursuit of football icons. Following the Portuguese star, players like Neymar, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané, Jordan Henderson, and others have moved to the Middle East.
However, the Saudi clubs do not intend to stop there. According to Sport Bible, Al-Nassr is looking to acquire two new players to strengthen their squad.

The first player on their radar is former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos. After leaving Santiago Bernabéu, the Spaniard joined Paris Saint-Germain, where he played alongside Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar, before returning to his boyhood club, Sevilla.
Currently, Ramos is a free agent, and according to Transfermarkt, his contract is valued at €2.5 million. It remains uncertain whether the Spaniard will agree to move to Saudi Arabia, as he has expressed a desire to continue his career in MLS and has already been linked with San Diego.
The second player Al-Nassr is targeting is Rafael Leão, Ronaldo's teammate in the Portuguese national team. Previously linked with Barcelona, journalist José Félix Díaz claims that the Saudi club's offer is far more attractive to AC Milan, and they are considering the possibility.
