Al Nassr keen to secure Cristiano Ronaldo's future amid interest from other clubs
Al Nassr are in negotiations with Cristiano Ronaldo over a new deal but face stiff competition from suitors across the globe, according to the club's sporting director Fernando Hierro. Ronaldo, 40, has been the face of Saudi Arabian football since arriving in Riyadh in January 2023, but speculation over his future has intensified after his cryptic social media message following Al Nassr's final match of the season against Al Fateh. 'This chapter is over. The story? Still being written,' the five-time Ballon d'Or winner wrote, fuelling rumours he could move on. 'Ronaldo's contract runs until June 30. We're working to renew it so he can continue with us,' Hierro told reporters. 'But of course, there are many clubs interested in signing him.' Ronaldo topped the goal charts in the Saudi Pro League for a second successive season and, despite Al Nassr missing out on Club World Cup qualification, his presence continues to elevate the profile of Saudi football. 'Cristiano's arrival was not just a signing – it was a national project,' Hierro said. 'He opened up the Saudi league to the world. It's phenomenal he had the courage to come, to stay, and to help us grow.' Fifa President Gianni Infantino recently hinted that Ronaldo could yet feature in the 32-team Club World Cup in the US this summer, with the global body even creating a special transfer window for the tournament. While Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca had been linked with a surprise move for the Portuguese legend, sources close to the club denied any formal talks. Whether Ronaldo's story in Saudi Arabia continues remains to be seen – but Al Nassr are determined to ensure this chapter doesn't close just yet.

FIFA president cites 'discussions' for Ronaldo to play in Club World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo might play at the Club World Cup in the United States next month, according to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, because of a unique transfer window created for the tournament. Ronaldo's Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr did not qualify for the Club World Cup but Infantino suggested the Portugal superstar could switch to one of the 32 teams playing in the 11-city tournament starting on June 14. "Cristiano Ronaldo might play in the Club World Cup,' Infantino told online streamer IShowSpeed, whose YouTube channel has more than 39 million subscribers. "There are discussions with some clubs, so if any club is watching and is interested in hiring Ronaldo for the Club World Cup, who knows. Still a few weeks time, will be fun.' Ronaldo did not react on Saturday to Infantino's speculation on his social media channels, posting just a commercial promotion to his 654 million followers on Instagram and his 115 million followers on X. It is unclear why a FIFA president would speculate on a player transfer, though Infantino has close ties to the Saudi Arabian state which will host the 2034 World Cup and effectively controls Ronaldo's contract. Al Nassr is among four leading Saudi clubs majority-owned by the Public Investment Fund, the kingdom's sovereign wealth operation, whose chairman is Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Infantino was a VIP guest of the crown prince last week during US President Donald Trump's state visit. Infantino's choice of a YouTuber's channel to make news raised eyebrows across soccer, though he has avoided press conferences with international media for approaching two years, including at FIFA's annual meeting last week in Paraguay. FIFA has engaged more and more with social media influencers and IShowSpeed took the persona of a Ronaldo superfan in Germany last year at the European Championship. FIFA confirmed on Wednesday that last-minute transfer signings from June 1-10 are open to all 32 Club World Cup teams because their home soccer federations all took up the governing body's offer to approve the exceptional trading window. It fuelled more speculation one of them will try to sign the 40-year-old Ronaldo on a short-term deal, potentially a loan. Such a move would be unprecedented in modern soccer, though could appeal to FIFA by boosting the profile and ailing ticket sales of the inaugural 32-team tournament that will next be played in 2029. A transfer for Ronaldo also would reunite him and Lionel Messi in the same competition for the first time since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Last October, FIFA invited Messi's Inter Miami to enter the tournament in the slot that was expected to be reserved for the host nation's champion. Inter Miami was eliminated in the MLS Cup playoffs. Speculative reports have linked Ronaldo to the one Saudi club that qualified, Al Hilal, the Brazilian club Palmeiras and Wydad of Morocco, even though that club is banned by FIFA from registering new signings. Transfers can be made in early June and again from June 27-July 3 according to the interim rules FIFA approved in October. "The objective is to encourage clubs and players whose contracts are expiring to find an appropriate solution to facilitate the players' participation,' FIFA said in Wednesday's statement. One of the 32 Club World Cup teams also is Saudi Arabian and owned by the PIF, Al Hilal, the 2021 Asian Champions League winner. Associated Press
