Tensions are rising around Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia. A year and a half after his high-profile arrival at Al-Nassr, the results are underwhelming: an Arab Champions League title, but no major domestic or continental trophies. And with his contract set to expire on June 30, 2025, his future at the club is increasingly uncertain.
The mood reportedly shifted after a loss to Al-Ittihad. Visibly frustrated, Ronaldo left the pitch in anger—a moment that did not go down well internally. With performances falling short and frustration mounting, questions are being asked: Is the Ronaldo magic fading?
Suitors Already Lining Up
Despite the current turbulence, CR7 remains a global magnet. Three clubs are closely monitoring his situation ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup:
- Al Ahly (Egypt)
- Chelsea (England)
- Palmeiras (Brazil)
A potential clash with Messi’s Inter Miami in the tournament would be a dream showdown for fans worldwide.
Ronaldo’s Demands: Stay or Go?
Ronaldo hasn’t ruled out extending with Al-Nassr—but only under strict conditions. According to sources, he wants:
- A complete overhaul of the sporting project
- A new coach and sporting director (he’s calling for the departures of Pioli, Hierro, Laporte, and others)
- Retention of core players like Mané, Brozović, and Simakan
If these demands aren’t met, a departure in 2025 is very much on the table. Will CR7 stay, move, or surprise again? The next chapter is wide open.
