Cristiano Ronaldo’s future in Saudi Arabia is hanging in the balance.
Details: According to Goal Verse, the Portuguese superstar has threatened to leave Al Nassr as early as this summer. The reason? A heated dispute with league officials: Ronaldo insisted on promoting his son, Cristiano Jr., to the club’s first team, but was met with a categorical refusal.
Reports say that the board of directors of the Saudi Pro League rejected the player’s request, citing the league’s strict regulations. According to the rules, players under the age of 18 are not allowed to play in the country’s top division. Despite Ronaldo’s status and influence, the league stood its ground and refused to make an exception for the superstar’s heir.
This incident raises questions about whether Cristiano will continue with a project he himself helped bring into the global spotlight.
Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of winning silverware with Al Nassr.
