But Casemiro’s former Real Madrid team-mate Ronaldo is now reportedly trying to prevent that move from happening. Ronaldo signed for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League in January 2023, becoming the highest-paid player on the planet. Casemiro is currently enjoying arguably his best season at United, having scored seven goals and assisted twice in 30 appearances.
