After the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo surprised many by joining the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, paving the way for other star transfers. However, a recent rumor suggests that the Portuguese football icon might return to Europe next season.
Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr triggered a surge of interest in Saudi Arabian football, with several other high-profile players following suit. Despite being 39 years old, Ronaldo’s performance remained stellar, contributing 54 goals and 14 assists in 60 matches for Al Nassr.
The speculation about Ronaldo’s return to Europe revolves around the possibility of him joining a competitive team in the UEFA Champions League. However, such a move would likely require a significant pay cut from his reported €500 million earnings over a 2.5-year contract with Al Nassr. Additionally, the prospect of leaving without a transfer fee when his contract expires adds another layer of complexity.
These rumors have ignited excitement within the football community, leaving fans eager to see where Ronaldo will play next.
