Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly reached an ‘agreement’ with Al-Nassr to remain in Saudi Arabia and become the ‘main decision-maker’ in the transfer market.
Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, won numerous trophies with Man Utd, Real Madrid and Juventus before choosing to leave Europe in 2022.
The Portugal legend has scored 800 goals in 1,062 club career appearances and will go down as one of the best players to have ever lived.
Ronaldo left Man Utd in controversial circumstances at the end of 2022 during his second spell at the Premier League club with Erik ten Hag allowing him to leave and join Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr.
The Al-Nassr star recently declared himself the “most complete player to have existed” in an interview with friend Edu Aguirre.
Ronaldo said: “I’m talking about numbers. I think I’m the most complete player to have existed. In my opinion, I think it’s me. I do everything well in football: with my head, free kicks, left foot. I’m fast, I’m strong.

“One thing is taste — if you like Messi, Pelé, Maradona, I understand that and I respect that — but saying Ronaldo isn’t complete … I’m the most complete. I haven’t seen anybody better than me, and I say it from the heart.”
There have been rumours that Brazilian side Botafogo, Mexican outfit Monterrey and Al-Nassr’s rivals Al-Hilal are interested in signing Ronaldo ahead of the Club World Cup.
