Man Utd star Aaron Wan-Bissaka ‘lined up by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr as Saudis fail to land Emerson Royal transfer’
MANCHESTER UNITED defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is being linked with a move to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, according to reports.
It comes after the Saudi Arabian side saw a £20million bid for Tottenham right-back Emerson Royal rejected.
Man Utd have triggered a one-year extension in Wan-Bissaka‘s contract to keep him at Old Trafford until 2025.
But he is continuing to be linked with a move away as SunSport exclusively revealed on Monday that the Red Devils had rejected a swap deal from Inter Milan – who proposed Denzel Dumfries move the other way.
Wan-Bissaka has started 10 Premier League games this season, including each of the last four.
He was sidelined for more than a month earlier in the campaign due to a hamstring problem, but has returned to Erik ten Hag‘s side and filled in at both right and left-back.
And according to The Telegraph, he is now attracting interest from Al-Nassr who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the season.
Ronaldo and Co are bidding to close a seven-point gap to Al-Hilal at the top of the Saudi Pro League table.
However, Wan-Bissaka’s arrival is dependent upon Al-Nassr unregistering one of their foreign players.
They include Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles and David Ospina.

Wan-Bissaka joined Man Utd from Crystal Palace in 2019 for £50million.
He has played 177 games for the club, but had to wait until last season’s Carabao Cup for his first major trophy.
And things are not going to plan for Ten Hag’s men this season.
Man Utd are languishing in eighth place in the Premier League table after losing nine of their opening 21 games.
They have also been eliminated from the Champions League after finishing bottom of their group.
Next up for Man Utd is an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Newport County on Sunday.
