Fans have been left stunned after hearing how much Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr are prepared to pay for Manchester United's Casemiro.
The Brazilian midfielder is being courted by a number of clubs in Saudi Pro League, with champions Al Hilal believed to be keen.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr see him as a priority target to strengthen their squad going into next season.

Initial talks have taken place between the two parties, with Casemiro said to be interested in joining a host of high-profile players in Saudi.
The former Real Madrid's man stock has declined massively of late after a poor second season at United.
But remarkably, Caught Offside say that Al Nassr are prepared to offer as much as €100 million (£85 million) for the 32-year-old.
The sum would be just short for a record fee paid for a Saudi side, just behind the £86 million Al Hilal paid to land his compatriot Neymar.
United could potentially be making a profit on the £70 million they forked out for Casemiro, a development that has left many fans in disbelief.
One wrote: "Imagine we got that much for him."
A second replied: @AlNassrFC_EN I speak on behalf of every Manchester United fan if you give us that amount of money we will all buy one Al Nassr jersey each."
Another said: "I will personally drive him there
A fourth added: "This must be a joke . Take it and run."
A final person had doubts, commenting: "This will be his salary or transfer fee plus salary. There’s no way they’re bidding that for him."
Casemiro still has at least two years on his £350,000-a-week United contract, having signed a four-year deal with the option of a fifth back in 2022.
He has made 83 appearances in all competitions across two seasons, winning one Carabao Cup and one FA Cup.
