Cristiano Ronaldo has asked Al Nassr to sign David Alaba

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again taken charge at Al Nassr and is pushing for a major addition to the team's defense: David Alaba. The Portuguese superstar sees signing the Austrian defender as a top priority to strengthen a defensive unit that has been a weakness for the Saudi team, especially after a season full of challenges. With the recent signing of Joao Felix in attack, the focus is now on ensuring the team is balanced from the back to play with confidence in the Saudi Pro League.

Alaba, 33, is having a tough time at Real Madrid.

His role has been cut back because of injuries and the rise of other center-backs in the squad. Moreover, with Xabi Alonso now in the manager's office, things don't look much better for the former Bayern Munich player, who is in his final year of contract.

Talks have already started in Saudi Arabia to discuss a potential move, taking advantage of Real Madrid's openness to talks.

The transfer fee is expected to be around five million euros, a figure that fits within Al Nassr's plan to build a strong squad around its key players.

Manager Jorge Jesus has given the green light for the move, recognizing that Alaba's experience and leadership would be a valuable addition.

Now, the main question is whether the defender is willing to end his European career and take on a new challenge in the Middle East, something he might consider after being recommended by his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
