Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al-Nassr just over a year ago with the aim of leading the team to the top of Saudi Arabia. That is why the club offered him an impressive salary: more than $200 million per year, making him the highest paid player in the world. However, the results have not been as good as they had hoped.

In the previous season, they finished second in the Pro League standings, behind Al-Ittihad. And in the current tournament they are 7 points behind Al-Hilal, although there are still almost half of the matches to be played. The good news is that Al-Nassr are also participating in another tournament, the Asian Champions League, in which they easily advanced to the knock-out stages after winning their group.

In order to improve the team and compete for these titles, the Saudi club are interested in signing more top players to join CR7, Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte and Marcelo Brozovic. According to Footmercato, the Portuguese striker asked the club's chiefs for the arrival of Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder was a teammate of his at Real Madrid, where he shone for almost a decade. But now he is at Manchester United, where things have not gone well for him.

And Casemiro is not the only Premier League star who could join Al-Nassr. According to The Sun, they are willing to pay almost $25 million for another Brazilian player: Emerson Royal. The 25-year-old defender has had a lot of involvement with Tottenham under coach Ange Postecoglou this season, mostly thanks to his versatility, which allows him to play as a full-back and centre-back.

They will have a problem

Although Al-Nassr are interested in signing these players, they will first have to solve a problem. They have already reached the limit of foreign players that each team can register, so they should get rid of someone to add Casemiro or Royal, as Al-Hilal did with Neymar and Renan Lodi. However, there may be another solution: rumor has it that the Pro League will change the rules on foreign players to make things easier for clubs.
