Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Al Nassr is becoming uncertain after Al Hilal completed the deal to sign Karim Benzema. Feeling that the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) treated the two clubs of the same ownership unequally, CR7 reacted by not playing in the match against Al-Riyadh.
The possibility of the Portuguese superstar returning to wear the Al Nassr shirt is a big question mark. Ronaldo has begun to have contacts with his old team Manchester United to express his desire to reappear at Old Trafford.
This deal can completely become a reality, when the current "Red Devils" are led by Michael Carrick - a former teammate who used to play alongside Ronaldo when he was still playing. CR7 wants to mend his relationship with Man United, after a unsatisfactory departure due to conflicts with his former coach Erik ten Hag in 2023.
The contract between Ronaldo and Al Nassr is still valid until 2027. However, Saudi Arabian media revealed that this deal has a buyout clause worth 50 million Euros.
Al Nassr is currently 1 point behind Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League title race. This is a title that Ronaldo is extremely eager for, but has never been able to conquer after 3 years playing football in the Middle East.
