Despite the increasing change speculation, al-wet FC is fighting for star player Cristiano Ronaldo. “We are still in negotiations with Cristiano about a new contract,” said Al-NassR director Fernando Hierro. “We hope that we can get a solution for an extension.” Ronaldo’s contract with the club from Saudi Arabia expires on June 30th.
The 40-year-old recently fueled the speculation about a change with a contribution on social media. “This chapter has been completed. The story? Is still written. I am grateful to everyone,” the Portuguese wrote on Instagram and X to a photo that shows him in the jersey of Al-Nassr. Many fans evaluated the words that Ronaldo did not explain further as a farewell message.
Ronaldo have been rumored for a long time-not least due to the club World Cup that is up to this summer. It was only at the weekend that FIFA President Gianni Infantino had promised that Ronaldo could be at the tournament due to a short-term change of club. The summer transfer period modified by the World Association makes this theoretically possible, says Infantino. The FIFA enables the participating clubs in the time window from June 1 to June 10 before the club World Cup Transfers. Al-Nassr is not at the tournament.
