Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy with his situation at Al-Nassr, and the Saudi Pro League is considering ending their association with him.
The star player is currently on strike and if he leaves by 2026, it could impact major European clubs.
This is because his departure would lead Saudi Arabia to pursue big-name players from Europe to fill the gap left by his exit.
According to Pete Hall from The iPaper Sport, the Saudi Pro League might agree to let Ronaldo go if he requests a transfer this summer due to ongoing issues with league management.
If that happens, insider sources suggest that Saudi Arabia may target top Premier League players like Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes as replacements.
There’s speculation within Manchester United that Fernandes may want to leave the club by summer 2026 after experiencing continuous changes in management.
Although rumors of Fernandes moving to the Saudi Pro League have been around for some time, he has resisted these moves and United has no desire to sell him. However, a strong offer from Saudi Arabia, bolstered by Ronaldo’s departure, could make the move appealing, especially if he feels frustrated at United despite recent improvements under new management.
