Cristiano Ronaldo making direct approach for former Manchester United teammate: Reports

Ronaldo has talked with Eric Bailly over a possible move to the Middle East.

Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken to Manchester United defender Eric Bailly regarding a possible move to the Saudi Pro League. According to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, multiple teams from the league have already contacted the player, with offers in the range of £20 million per year.

The report adds that Ronaldo, a teammate of Bailly during his second stint at United, has approached the Frenchman to convince him. He has spoken about the lifestyle in the country, hoping to bring him to Al-Nassr.

It is evident that Bailly is not in Manchester United's plans. The 29-year-old has fallen down the pecking order since Erik ten Hag's arrival and was not even selected for the team's pre-season tour to the US. His contract is set to expire next year, and the Red Devils could be keen on selling him. They have already closed a deal to send defender Alex Telles to Al-Nassr for £4 million.

Following a move from Spanish side Villarreal in 2016, Bailly has struggled to establish himself as a regular for the Red Devils. He has made just 113 appearances for the side in his seven-year stint. Last season he played in 23 games, with most of his appearances coming off the bench.
