Reports from Kooora indicate that Cristiano Ronaldo is frustrated with Al-Nassr due to limited transfer activities and a lack of support in the Saudi Pro League.
The report notes, “Ronaldo is unhappy about the club’s lack of investment and the reduced authority of its directors.”
“Ronaldo prioritizes playing regularly ahead of the World Cup, and if no agreement is reached, he may move to the American league.”
With the January transfer window now closed, Al-Nassr cannot improve its roster until summer. This situation has reportedly increased Ronaldo’s dissatisfaction, especially as rival teams receive more financial support.
At this point in his career, getting regular playing time and staying competitive seems more important to him than financial gains. With the World Cup approaching, Ronaldo is focused on match readiness and consistency.
How MLS move could reignite Lionel Messi rivalry
If an agreement can’t be made, a switch to Major League Soccer would hold global significance. With Lionel Messi in the US, Ronaldo’s move could revive one of football’s biggest rivalries.
However, leaving Saudi Arabia is not certain yet. The same report insists, “Ronaldo’s main goal is still to remain in the Saudi League and to continue with Al-Nassr.”
This statement emphasizes the delicate balance at play. Ronaldo is willing to stay, but only if there are assurances regarding the club’s ambitions and competitiveness.
A return to Europe has also been mentioned, but factors like age, team requirements, and commercial aspects make that path complicated. MLS provides visibility, a manageable schedule, and the chance to compete in the same league as Messi.
Currently, the situation remains unresolved. Al-Nassr must decide whether to meet Ronaldo’s expectations or risk losing its biggest star.
