Ronaldo prevented Casemiro from joining Messi's team.

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly trying to persuade Casemiro to move to Saudi Arabia instead of joining Lionel Messi's Inter Miami after leaving Manchester United.

Ronaldo and Casemiro were teammates at Real Madrid and Manchester United, respectively.

Casemiro's future has become a focal point of attention as the Brazilian midfielder prepares to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. In this context, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly directly involved in an effort to lure his former teammate to Saudi Arabia.

Dailymail, citing Marca, reports that Ronaldo does not want Casemiro to join Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi is currently playing. Instead, he hopes to reunite with the 34-year-old midfielder in a project in the Middle East.

Casemiro has confirmed that this will be his last season at Manchester United. The club did not activate the one-year extension clause in his contract, in order to reduce the wage bill as he is currently earning £375,000 per week.

Inter Miami is one of the potential destinations. The team, co-owned by David Beckham, has approached Casemiro, with the ambition of bringing him in to partner with Messi. This is also an option to fill the void left by Sergio Busquets after his retirement.

However, the biggest hurdle lies in finances. Casemiro's salary exceeds the MLS limit, forcing Inter Miami to find a way to adjust it if they want to complete the deal.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia offers a more attractive option in terms of income. Ronaldo reportedly sees Casemiro as a crucial piece to elevate Al Nassr. Both players had brilliant periods at Real Madrid, winning numerous major titles together.

Casemiro's form this season has remained consistent. He has scored 7 goals in 30 games, demonstrating his important role despite being in the twilight of his peak career.

Casemiro's final decision will not only be about choosing a destination, but will also shape the next chapter of his career. If he goes to the US, he'll have the rare opportunity to play alongside both Ronaldo and Messi. But if he chooses Saudi Arabia, financial resources and familiarity could become decisive advantages.

Messi's 900th goal: On the morning of March 19th, Lionel Messi scored the opening goal when Inter Miami faced Nashville in the second leg of the Round of 16 of the Concacaf Club Cup.
