Cristiano Ronaldo’s time with Al Nassr could be drawing to a close amid another frustrating Saudi Pro League campaign.

Ronaldo, who joined the club at the end of 2022 following his Manchester United exile, has been a relentless goal-getter in the Middle East, scoring 91 times in 103 Al Nassr appearances but his stint is yet to deliver on the silverware front.

While Al Nassr are stocked with familiar faces, including Jhon Duran and Sadio Mane, they’ve struggled to muster a title challenge despite Ronaldo’s goals. A 3-2 defeat to league leaders Al Ittihad on Wednesday (a game in which they led 2-0) all but ended their pursuit of Saudi glory and MARCA claims that Ronaldo’s post-match reaction to the defeat didn’t go down too well with club officials.

The all-time great reportedly left Al Nassr’s stadium without changing his kit.

The club’s recent malaise also saw them exit the Asian Champions League at the hands of Japanese outfit Kawasaki Frontale in the last four, and their current fourth-place standing in the Saudi Pro League means they’re currently not assured of a spot in the AFC competition next season.

As a result, Ronaldo is believed to be reconsidering his future in Riyadh, having previously been keen to extend his stay by another two years. He’s desperate to add to his trophy haul before calling it a career, but only has one piece of silverware – the 2023 Arab Champions Cup – to show for his time in Saudi Arabia.

If the 40-year-old, who aims to play at the 2026 World Cup with Portugal, decides to move on, speculation will be rife regarding his next club. A return to Sporting CP may well be on the table, with his former club potentially viewing Ronaldo as a stop-gap option to replace Viktor Gyokeres, who looks likely to depart the Lisbon side this summer.
