BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo Leaves Saudi Pro League To Join This Team

The Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga takes a new turn as the Portuguese International just landed in Portugal after leaving Riyadh, as per reports. This is coming in right after multiple clubs' interest in the 40-year-old following his fallout with Saudi League giants Al-Nassr.

Before Al-Nassr's away game against Al-Riyadh, reports flooded in that Ronaldo had gone on strike. His unavailability for the game was not due to any injury or suspension. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was reportedly upset over how the club is being managed by PIF (Public Investment Fund).

The Portuguese football legend believes there's inequality in the Saudi Public Investment Fund's backing for Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli. Al-Hilal's recent signing of Karim Benzema further fueled Ronaldo's disappointment with the situation.

What could this mean for Cristiano Ronaldo?

As of now, Al Hilal is only one point away from Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Since his arrival at the Saudi club back in 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to win his first league title.

To boost their chances this season, the Portuguese International wants his club to be more ambitious this window. However, the club's lack of activities in the transfer window has sent a different message to their star forward.

The Portuguese forward recently signed a two-year extension with his club. In addition to his wages, Cristiano Ronaldo has earned various brand deals. However, if the situation does not get better, the ex-Real Madrid player can move out of the Saudi club. In his current deal, Ronaldo has a 50 million euro release clause.

With the release clause for the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo transfer now in public, there are many teams that are interested in the forward right now. Among them, Sporting Lisbon is the strongest admirer.

Ronaldo to Sporting CP Next?

As per the Cristiano Ronaldo latest news, the Portuguese forward has just landed in Portugal. Ever since his recent fallout with the club management, the footballing world have their eyes peeled on the next headline move of Cristiano Ronaldo.

As of now, Sporting Lisbon has been closely monitoring the situation between the Al Nassr captain and the club. CR7 has previously showcased his willingness to come back to the club where it all started for the number 7.

As of right now, the jury is still out on whether we can see Cristiano Ronaldo play for Sporting Lisbon next. However, we should also not rule out conversation between the Portuguese club and the player.
