Valencia striker Edinson Cavani could reunite with former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web.

Clubs in Saudi Arabia are busy making blockbuster signings after the kingdom stepped up efforts to boost its global image and bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Al-Nassr, who started the revolution by snapping up Ronaldo on a free transfer in December, are among those looking to make marquee additions to their squad this summer.

It’s worth noting that Al-Nassr have a deal in place to sign Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. The Morocco international is expected to put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Riyadh-based club, while the Blues will reportedly receive €15 million in transfer fee.

The Mrsool Park outfit are also working on a deal to sign Croatia and Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic. They have agreed a €23 million fee with the Serie A club but are yet to agree personal terms with the midfielder, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Cavani, 36, is the latest player linked with a move to Al-Nassr. According to the aforementioned source, Al-Aalami have set their sights on signing the Uruguay international and have already established contact with his entourage. They hope to make progress in their bid to acquire the Valencia frontman shortly.

If everything goes to plan, Cavani could reunite with former Manchester United teammate Ronaldo at Mrsool Park. They spent the 2021-22 season at Old Trafford and played 14 games together across competitions, combining to score once.

Al-Nassr intend to have a formidable attack of Ronaldo, Cavani and Ziyech next season. The Saudi giants are also set to hire Portuguese tactician Luis Castro as their next manager, according to reports.
