Cristiano Ronaldo may leave "Al-Nassr"

Portuguese forward of "Al-Nassr" Cristiano Ronaldo may leave Saudi Arabia due to dissatisfaction with the club's position.

As reported by BAKU.WS citing Record publication, the buyout amount of the striker's contract is 50 million euros, and MLS and Europe are being considered as possible options for continuing his career.

According to the source, Cristiano Ronaldo is dissatisfied with the attitude towards "Al-Nassr" from the Saudi Arabian Sovereign Fund (PIF), a government body that acquired controlling stakes in the country's four main clubs in 2023: "Al-Nassr", "Al-Hilal", "Al-Ittihad" and "Al-Ahli".

The Portuguese is unhappy with "Al-Nassr's" passivity in the transfer market compared to other clubs managed by the fund. He believes that PIF is preventing the signing of new players at "Al-Nassr" to stop the team from winning the title. Currently, "Al-Nassr" is trailing "Al-Hilal" by just one point and continues the fight for the championship.

Ronaldo believes he deserves more respect, considering the decisive role he played in the development of Saudi football and its advancement to an unprecedented level. Moreover, he agreed to become an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, which will be held in Saudi Arabia, to increase awareness of this competition.

It is reported that this is why Ronaldo refused to take the field in the 20th round Pro League match against "Al-Riyadh" club (1:0). Despite the fact that he remains focused on winning his first championship title in Saudi Arabia and his personal goal - to reach the mark of 1,000 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo considered it necessary to express protest, considering what is happening to the club an injustice.
