Cristiano Ronaldo could reunite with former Real Madrid teammate

Reports from British news outlet The Mirror suggest Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr are set to reunite Cristiano Ronaldo with his former Real Madrid teammate, Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican goalkeeper currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain but is set to be allowed to leave for free in the summer.

To acquire his services this winter, Al-Nassr are reportedly willing to pay €4 million to PSG. Additionally, this move is being made due to the current goalkeeper of the Saudi club, David Ospina, being injured for six weeks.

Ronaldo and Navas had an excellent relationship during their time at Real Madrid, and the Portuguese forward will be pleased to be able to reunite with his former teammate.
