According to Portuguese publication A Bola, Cristiano Ronaldo's national teammate Danilo Pereira has rejected the chance to join Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro-League rivals, Al-Ittihad. The holding midfielder was reportedly the subject of a €15 million bid but opted to remain with PSG.
The 32-year-old has been a part of the Parisian's set=up since 2021 when he arrived from FC Porto for a reported €16 million. He has made 157 appearances for the reigning French champions, bagging 10 goals and three assists, winning three Ligue 1 titles, three French Super Cups and two French Cups.
Danilo's contract with PSG expires next summer, but the veteran midfielder is unlikely to secure a new contract, following the arrival of his compatriot Joao Neves this summer. A move to the Middle-East looks to be the best move for both parties, and Al-Ittihad could offer him a chance to play alongside iconic names like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante.
