Al Nassr Eyes Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane Reunion with Lucrative Offer
Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club, is actively exploring the possibility of reuniting Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane, with an enticing new proposal on the table.
As Varane’s contract with Manchester United nears its end in June, speculation mounts regarding a potential move to Al Nassr, where he could join forces with former teammate Ronaldo.
Reports suggest that Al Nassr has presented Varane with a lucrative contract worth $63 million annually, presenting the French defender with a significant decision to make regarding his future – whether to extend his stay in the Premier League or pursue a move to Saudi Arabia.
Recent updates indicate that Al Nassr has bolstered their offer for Varane, which has been described as “very strong in terms of salary.” The prospect of joining the Riyadh-based club appears optimistic for Varane, who is also attracting interest from Al Ittihad, another Saudi Arabian club. Should Varane lean towards Al Ittihad, he could reunite with fellow Real Madrid alumnus Karim Benzema.
However, there are murmurs that Manchester United might reconsider their stance. Reports suggest that the club opted against activating Varane’s contract extension in January, possibly due to financial considerations given the defender’s high salary.

Despite the uncertainty, Varane remains a prized asset for Manchester United, being one of the highest-rated players at Old Trafford. A reunion with Ronaldo, with whom he shared immense success at Real Madrid, presents an intriguing proposition for both Al Nassr and the players involved.
Ronaldo and Varane enjoyed a trophy-laden spell together at Real Madrid, securing multiple La Liga titles and UEFA Champions League triumphs. Their partnership was instrumental in Real Madrid’s dominance in Europe, culminating in four Champions League titles in five years.
Although both players departed for new challenges – Varane to Manchester United and Ronaldo to his second stint at Old Trafford – their bond remains strong, potentially setting the stage for a remarkable reunion in Saudi Arabia.
