There have been reports linking him to various clubs, with the likes of Wydad Casablanca and Botafogo believed to have an interest in the player ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. Rumours have also raged that he could trade Al-Nassr for bitter rivals Al-Hilal in a deal that would stun Saudi football.

Romano has detailed the current position of Ronaldo, who at 40 years old continues to be one of the most marketable and recognisable faces in the game. The football transfer news reporter says that Al-Nassr are still pushing for an agreement.

“Al-Nassr are set to present their plan to Cristiano Ronaldo hoping to get new deal sorted,” he reported on X.

“The club’s preparing changes to get Cristiano’s green light… and sign new contract to continue at Al-Nassr.”

Luis Diaz thrown in as Ronaldo sweetener

Previously, it was suggested Ronaldo had already agreed a new deal with the Saudi side worth €400 million over two years, plus a stake in the club.

It is now claimed that CR7 is unhappy having failed to win a trophy with Al-Nassr and that he wants the team to show ambition in the transfer market. His side appear willing to do this, as Romano reports.

“Luis Diaz, David Hancko, world-class midfielder and more targets have been added to summer shortlist,” the transfer expert says.

Deals for Luis Diaz and Hancko both look very possible and these transfers, in conjunction with Ronaldo’s huge salary, look increasingly likely to keep him at Al-Nassr.
