Al Nassr’s media advisor, Saaed Abu Dahesh, has firmly dismissed recent speculation suggesting that Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is on the verge of joining the Saudi Pro League side.
Reports have increasingly linked Casemiro with a potential move to Al Nassr, fueling rumors that his tenure at Manchester United may soon come to an end.
Last summer, the Brazilian star rejected a transfer despite significant interest from Saudi Arabia. However, recent updates indicate he might now be more open to the idea of a move.
A previous report, as highlighted by The Peoples Person, claimed that Al Nassr had offered Casemiro an enticing deal worth approximately £650,000 per week. Adding to the buzz, there have been suggestions that Cristiano Ronaldo has personally urged Al Nassr’s management to secure Casemiro’s services. The two players share a remarkable history, having won 12 trophies together at Real Madrid—including four UEFA Champions League titles and two La Liga crowns. Their partnership continued at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag, and their strong personal bond has been well-documented.
Speculation reached a peak when reports from Brazil asserted that a deal to sell the 32-year-old to Al Nassr was nearly finalized, suggesting his departure from Old Trafford was imminent.
However, these claims were categorically denied by Al Nassr’s media advisor, Saeed Abu Dahesh. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Abu Dahesh stated, “All the news circulating about Al-Nassr’s negotiations with the player Casemiro is incorrect.”
He further explained, “The coming period will be filled with rumors about players, both local and international, being linked to Al Nassr. As always, the official updates will come from Al Nassr’s verified channels. Everything else is merely speculation that we cannot waste time denying daily.”
Abu Dahesh also urged fans to focus on supporting the team during their critical upcoming matches, emphasizing that their attention and encouragement are crucial.
Meanwhile, Casemiro and the rest of the Manchester United squad are gearing up for their next challenge. They are set to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup. The match kicks off at 15:00 GMT on Sunday, promising an exciting clash between two top-tier teams.
