Have your say!

Cristiano Ronaldo shocked the footballing world by completing a move to Al-Nassr, after his second stint at Manchester United came to an abrupt end.

The duo enjoyed a lot of success during their time together at Real Madrid. And now, it looks like the club want to reunite him with one of his former Real Madrid teammates. Most people would have expected the Portuguese icon to carry on in Europe, but if rumours are to be believed, there were not a lot of top clubs looking to sign him.

Al-Nassr are set to try and land both Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric as the two veterans of European football near the end of their current contracts.

However, [ judging by his sensational performance at Anfield on Tuesday](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-liverpool-benzema-vinicius/blt53fe165a54a7dd6c), there are no signs of him slowing down and it would surprise no one if the 37-year-old stayed in Spain. THE BIGGER PICTURE: If the double-swoop is to come off then Ramos would be the first one to make the move to the Middle East. There'd be fewer better ways to do that than to sign two massive, worldwide names.

Al Nassr are planning another major transfer move in 2023 as they look to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Sergio Ramos.
