PSG megastar lined up for awkward reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr as he’s ‘set to join on free transfer’
CRISTIANO RONALDO is set for an awkward reunion with Sergio Ramos at Al-Nassr.
The pair were long-term team-mates throughout Ronaldo's nine years at Real Madrid.
In fact, their 28,440 minutes together on the pitch for Los Blancos means Ramos has played more football with Ronaldo than anyone else in football.
Ramos, 37, left the Bernabeu for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 but, with his contract expiring, report he could follow in Ronaldo's footsteps by joining Al-Nassr as a free agent.
The Saudi club are splashing out a whopping £173million per year to have Ronaldo in their side - and they would likely stump up big bucks for Ramos, too.
However, that could spark a tricky moment if Ramos does join Ronaldo in Riyadh.

"He is the best player football has ever produced."
Messi caused Ramos and Ronaldo and their Real Madrid team-mates plenty of problems with a record 26 El Clasico goals.
Ironically, Ronaldo represented the Saudi Pro League XI against PSG in one of his first games since his shock move - with both Ramos and Messi featuring for the French side.
And it was a howler by the centre-back that gifted Ronaldo his goal.
Although like Ramos, Messi's current PSG contract expires this summer - and he could make his way to the Middle East if he opts against a dramatic Barcelona return.
