Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly trying to convince Mohamed Salah to join Al-Nassr next summer. The Portuguese superstar wants to add firepower around him on the pitch and believes that the Liverpool star would be a great addition.
As per a report from El Nacional, Salah is a target of Saudi Pro League clubs next summer and Ronaldo is trying his best to get the Egyptian to join Al-Nassr. The Liverpool star has not signed a new deal yet and will be a free agent when the season ends.
The Spanish publication add that Liverpool could listen to offers for the forward in the January window. However, the Middle Eastern side would have to pay over €100M, though the forward has just months left on the deal.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah draws inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo
Mohamed Salah has named Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the players he looked up to when he started playing in Europe. He claimed that the Portuguese superstar’s work ethics are his main inspiration and told Liverpool’s media channels:
“I love the way Ronaldo [of Brazil] was playing and [Zinedine] Zidane and [Francesco] Totti. These guys, I always looked at them and they just enjoy the game. Cristiano Ronaldo was also the one when I started playing in Europe more, you see the way he dedicated everything to football is insane, the way he looks after himself. You can see everything, his numbers.”
“But these guys I looked at when I was young and I just wished to play one game with them, or to be like them one day. I had a good opportunity to play with Totti and I played with him for two years in Rome. It was an incredible time, I just loved it. He was incredible to be fair and his technique was insane. Very, very good person as well.”
Salah has played six times against Ronaldo for club and country. He mas managed to win just once – a 5-0 win for Liverpool at Old Trafford – and has lost the other five times.
