LIVE UPDATES
Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr is reportedly pursuing a double move to secure the services of Manchester United's Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, as the Red Devils seek to trim their roster of high-earning players. The potential transfers have gained momentum amid ongoing efforts by United's football director, John Murtough, who recently visited Riyadh to explore potential deals.
Casemiro, the highest earner at Old Trafford with a weekly wage of £375,000, is the primary target for Al-Nassr. However, the 31-year-old Brazilian has been sidelined since November due to a hamstring injury, prompting United to consider offloading him in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is open to selling Casemiro if they can recoup a portion of the £70 million they invested in securing his services from Real Madrid last year.
In addition to Casemiro, Al-Nassr is eyeing a potential move for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Saudi club, having had a £20 million bid for Tottenham's Emerson Royal rejected last week, is exploring alternatives to strengthen their squad. Wan-Bissaka's future at United remains uncertain, as the club triggered a 12-month extension in his contract in December, opting not to offer the defender a new long-term deal.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Al-Nassr's pursuit of Manchester United's duo underscores the dynamics of the football transfer market, with clubs seeking strategic acquisitions and players navigating uncertain futures within the ever-evolving landscape of elite football.
