Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah could play together as Al Nassr reportedly join the race for the Egyptian star

Following his successful and historic tenure at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has decided to leave the club at the end of the season as a free agent. As a result, the Egyptian has attracted interest from the MLS and several European teams to continue his professional career. However, he could end up playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, as Al Nassr are reportedly interested in signing him in a post-2026 World Cup move.

According to TEAMtalk, the Saudi Pro League has identified Mohamed Salah as an absolute priority, as his Islamic profile would represent a major cultural impact. While Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli had initially emerged as the most interested clubs, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr have now joined the race for the Egyptian. With all four teams backed by the Public Investment Fund, his potential transfer could spark a major bidding war.

Even though Mohamed Salah still has the level to shine in Europe, he is reportedly open to a move to Saudi Arabia, also acting as a promoter of the league. If Al Nassr were to complete his signing, they could form one of the best duos in the world, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah could break scoring records and lead the team to become favorites to win everything season after season.

With Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mané already in the squad, it would be quite difficult for Al Nassr to integrate Salah seamlessly. One of the current starters would likely need to lose prominence or be transferred, which would not be an easy decision. Therefore, the Egyptian might prefer a move to another Saudi Pro League side where he can be the central star—something that may not be guaranteed if he joins Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.

Al-Ittihad may emerge as leading contenders for Mohamed Salah

Throughout his career, Mohamed Salah has shown a strong desire to be the main star of his team, something that played a major role in his relationship with Sadio Mané. As a result, a move to Al Nassr could be quite difficult, as Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s leading figure. With this in mind, Al Ittihad could emerge as the favorites to pursue his signing, as they have a significant gap to fill in their squad.

Following the departures of N’Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema, they have considerable room in their wage structure to make an offer to Mohamed Salah. In addition, he could become the team’s main attacking star, partnering Youssef En-Nesyri in attack, without facing major competition for his role. As a team that regularly competes for the Saudi Pro League title, the Egyptian may not hesitate to join the squad, opting against playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
