© YASSER BAKHSHIs Al-Nassr cursed, or is this just part of the plan? If we are to believe in the rumors that Ronaldo is leaving, they have no hope.

The atmosphere surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr has reportedly become strained, casting doubt on his future with the club. Despite his high-profile arrival in 2023, the Portuguese superstar has only managed to win the Arab Champions League. The lack of major trophies has sparked internal debate about whether to extend his contract, which is set to expire on June 30th.

The catalyst for the growing discontent seems to have been Ronaldo’s reaction after the defeat to Al-Ittihad. His visible frustration upon leaving the field was not well-received. According Daily Mirror, this behavior, combined with the lack of expected results, has put the Portuguese striker in a precarious position.

Three Giants Eye Ronaldo for 2025 Club World Cup

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his Al-Nassr future, three prominent clubs have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Ronaldo for the 2025 Club World Cup:

  • Al Ahli (Egypt): The Egyptian giants are reportedly interested. His potential arrival would add appeal to the tournament. Especially, it might create a match with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
  • Chelsea (England): The English club may see Ronaldo’s experience as an asset to their championship aspirations.
  • Palmeiras (Brazil): The Brazilian club aims to strengthen its squad with prominent players to compete.

What’s Next for Ronaldo?

The coming months will be crucial in determining Ronaldo’s next move. Will Al-Nassr offer him a contract extension? Or will he seek a new challenge with one of the clubs vying for his signature? Several factors will influence his decision, including the offers on the table, his desire for competitive soccer, and personal considerations.

The story of Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia is one of high expectations. His arrival initially brought fanfare and optimism. But, the failure to secure major trophies has created internal tension. As his contract with Al-Nassr approaches its end, the soccer world watches with interest to see where the legendary player will turn next.
