Ronaldo urges Al-Nassr to sign EPL star

According to The Mirror via Sportbible, the Real Madrid legend has advised his club to sign Kevin De Bruyne, whose current deal with Man City expires at the end of the 2024/25 season.

The report adds that Ronaldo has urged the Saudi giants to offer Ronaldo a £1m per week offer to the Belgian star.

De Bruyne will celebrate his 34th birthday next summer, and given his fitness struggles in recent years, he could consider that deal.

De Bruyne's on possible Saudi move

De Bruyne is playing in his 10th Premier League season. He has lifted six Premier League titles and a Champions League.

According to SportsMole, De Bruyne is open to moving to the Saudi Pro League.

"At my age you have to be open to everything. You're talking about incredible amounts of money in what may be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that."

"If I play there for two years, I will be able to earn an incredible amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years. I may not even reach that amount yet."

De Bruyne has registered 113 in the Premier League, and only Ryan Gigga has more. He could form a potent strike force with Mane and Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo makes honest admission

Briefly News earlier reported that Ronaldo said that he is no longer driven by individual awards.

The Man United legend said he is now focused on helping the team win. His Al-Nassr were beaten to the league title by Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo seems to have shifted his focus away from chasing individual accolades, particularly the coveted Ballon d'Or, as he suggests that his rivalry with Lionel Messi no longer fuels him.
