Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly ‘wants to leave Al-Nassr’ months after joining Saudi side.
Only a few months after moving from Manchester United to the Saudi club, Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave Al-Nassr. Following his shocking interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese superstar and United mutually decided to end his contract.
The 38-year-old then reached an agreement with the Saudi Arabian titans on a £175 million per year arrangement through 2025.
According to El Nacional, it now appears that Real Madrid is eager to grant Ronaldo a non-playing job as an ambassador.
The Spanish outlet said: ‘florentino perez has guaranteed that [Ronaldo] will not lack work at the Santiago Bernabeu.
‘But, obviously, he wouldn’t do it to be a player, because he considers that it is a cycle that should be considered closed.’
Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo’s girlfriend, is rumoured to long to go back to Madrid, where the two first met.
Ronaldo is a Real Madrid club icon, having scored 451 goals in 438 games while playing at the Bernabeu.
With the La Liga giants, he won four Champions League titles, three Club World Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, two Laliga titles, two Copas del Rey titles, and two Spanish Super Cups.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored 12 goals for Al-Nassr this season in just as many league games.
He scored after only four minutes to help Al-Nassr defeat Al-Raed 3-0 at home on Friday.
The victory sees Al-Nassr, who are in second place in the Saudi Pro League, close the gap on Al-Ittihad to three points, although the leaders have a game in hand.
Ronaldo put Al-Nassr in the lead with a header as he connected with a cross from Sultan Al Ghannam.
