In 2022, Ronaldo shocked fans by signing a record transfer fee from English Premier League club Manchester United to play for Al Nasr in the Saudi Pro League.
Jeddah: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly planning to leave the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo’s social media post, which stated that the chapter is over after the conclusion of the Saudi Pro League season, gave hints that the Portuguese superstar is planning to leave the Saudi Pro League team Al Nasr. Ronaldo shocked fans in 2022 by signing a contract to play for Al Nasr in the Saudi Pro League from English Premier League club Manchester United for a record transfer fee. Later, many superstars in world football, including Neymar and Benzema, followed in Ronaldo’s footsteps and joined various teams in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nasr will expire at the end of this season. A special transfer window is open for clubs from June 1 to 10 to sign players for the Club World Cup. It is expected that Ronaldo will leave Al Nasr for another club during this time. “This chapter is over, but the story continues, thank you everyone,” Ronaldo wrote on social media. Al Nasr failed to qualify for the elite group of the Asian Champions League after losing to Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale in the semi-finals in April. The Saudi Pro League team finished third this time. This is also believed to have influenced Ronaldo’s decision. The 40-year-old Ronaldo, who is the league’s top scorer this season with 25 goals, is set to bid farewell to the team. Ronaldo had said at the end of last season that he would play his last match for Al Nasr. FIFA President Gianni Infantino had earlier indicated that Ronaldo could play in the Club World Cup. Infantino’s statement that some clubs have expressed interest in Ronaldo caused a huge controversy.
