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.
De Gea left Manchester United in the summer after his contract expired.
The 32-year-old has failed to find a suitable club so far.
De Gea is willing to wait until the January transfer window to see if a more desirable option might be available.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were pondering moves for De Gea amid their first-choice keepers Thibaut Courtois and Manuel Neuer being out injured.
However, both clubs opted against signing De Gea and interest from Saudi and the Qatar Stars League has not attracted the goalkeeper.
