Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly playing an active role in trying to convince his former Manchester United teammate David de Gea to join him at Al-Nassr.

90min reports that Ronaldo has been trying to persuade De Gea to join him in the Saudi Pro League.

However, the Spanish veteran goalkeeper is not enticed by the proposal as he wants to continue playing UEFA Champions League football.
