Al-Nassr 'eyeing moves for Manchester United duo Casemiro, Aaron Wan-Bissaka'

Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on signing Manchester United duo Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka during this summer's transfer window.

Casemiro has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2026, with the option of a further 12 months, but there is currently widespread speculation surrounding his future in Manchester.

The 31-year-old has struggled with injuries during the 2023-24 campaign, being restricted to just 12 appearances in all competitions, but he was back on the bench against Tottenham Hotspur last time out.

Casemiro is in line to feature against Newport County in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and despite a host of transfer talk, he will not be on the move before the January window closes.

Man United are believed to be open to selling their highest earner this summer, though, with incoming minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe keen to move the club in a different direction.

According to the Daily Mail, Al-Nassr, who famously signed Cristiano Ronaldo at the start of 2023, are lining up a summer move for Casemiro, while his Man United teammate Wan-Bissaka is also wanted.

The Red Devils recently activated a 12-month extension in Wan-Bissaka's contract, with his terms due to run until June 2025, but there is also speculation surrounding his future.

The 26-year-old has benefited from injuries in the full-back positions this season to make 17 appearances in all competitions, and he played at left-back against Tottenham last time out.

Wan-Bissaka is behind Diogo Dalot when it comes to the right-back spot, though, and Luke Shaw is now back to fitness, meaning that his path into the first XI is currently blocked.

Inter Milan have been credited with an interest in the Englishman, while Crystal Palace are believed to be keen to re-sign him at the end of the campaign.

Al-Nassr are thought to be considering making a move before the January transfer window closes, but it is highly unlikely that Man United would let him leave at this stage of the season.

The English club's decision to activate an extension rather than hand him a new contract seemingly suggests that they would be willing to sell him this summer for the right price.

Raphael Varane has also been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabia, with the Frenchman's contract at Old Trafford due to expire at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, a recent report claimed that the club could attempt to sell both Antony and Jadon Sancho to the Saudi Pro League this summer, but the former's agent has denied suggestions of an exit.
