Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly urging Al-Nassr to make a considerable effort to sign a Manchester City star next summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly urged Al-Nassr to make a lucrative offer to sign Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne. Ronaldo has been an Al-Nassr player since January 2023 after he opted to move to the Saudi Pro League following his Manchester United exit.

The Portugal international has seen a number of high-profile players leave top European leagues to complete the switch to Al-Nassr.

Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brosovic, Mohamed Simakan and Aymeric Laporte are among those who have joined Ronaldo at the Saudi Arabian club.

Ronaldo makes De Bruyne transfer plea The former Real Madrid star is seemingly keen for Al-Nassr to bring another notable name to the Saudi Pro League.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Ronaldo wants the Al-Nassr hierarchy to do their utmost to sign De Bruyne in 2025.

The Belgium international is facing an uncertain future at the Etihad Stadium, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

The report suggests that the Saudi Arabian club could make De Bruyne a lucrative contract offer worth $1m (PS762,000) a week.

Is a move to Saudi Arabia likely? De Bruyne is said to be happy in Manchester, but he has previously admitted it may be difficult to turn down a significant contract offer at this stage of his career.

There is also a suggestion that De Bruyne may have to accept a reduction on his current PS375,000-a-week salary if he were to sign a new deal with Man City.

While Man City are ready to start contract negotiations, Al-Nassr may sense there is a real opportunity to sign the Premier League star on a free transfer next summer.

While De Bruyne has struggled with several injuries over the last few seasons, his signature would still be a massive coup for the Saudi Pro League.

Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, De Bruyne's current focus will be on recovering from a thigh injury which has forced him to miss the last five matches.
