Ronaldo may leave "Al-Nassr" — Media

Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo could potentially leave the Saudi Arabian club "Al-Nassr" during the winter transfer window.

"Ronaldo is currently not playing any significant role at 'Al-Nassr'. I do not rule out that he will leave the team during the winter transfers, just as happened with Karim Benzema, but this process will only take place at his own wish. Cristiano has become a player who has exhausted his capabilities and can no longer give anything to 'Al-Nassr'. Therefore, he must leave," says al-Saramin.

Although the forward signed a new contract with the club in 2025, which is valid until the end of the 2026/27 season, he is looking for ways to leave the team as a free agent in the winter.

Rumors about the player's departure from the team intensified after "Al-Nassr" suffered a heavy 0:4 defeat against the UAE's "Al-Ain" in the Elite AFC Champions League. This is considered the biggest defeat Ronaldo has suffered since moving to the Middle East. Overall, the Riyadh club has won only one of its last four matches across all competitions.

In fact, the misunderstandings between the player and the club began in the summer. Ronaldo, who had a prolific season last year scoring 28 goals in the championship, was dissatisfied that the team's squad was not sufficiently strengthened during the summer transfers. The club, citing financial difficulties, made only one signing — Samu Costa.

For reference, Ronaldo, who has been playing for "Al-Nassr" since December 2022, previously played for "Sporting", "Manchester United", "Real Madrid", and "Juventus", and also became a European Championship and Nations League winner with his national team.
