Al-Nassr, the Saudi Pro League giants, has spoken out about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with the club.
Fernando Hierro, the club’s sporting director, finally addressed the iconic forward’s future on Thursday, resolving the question of whether he will leave or stay.
Football fans have been asking themselves whether Ronaldo will remain or leave.
Reports have linked the 40-year-old to Al Nassr’s rivals Al Hilal as he looks to feature in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
However, Hierro said the club is doing everything possible to keep the Portuguese, who he described as a national asset.
The Portuguese will become a free agent this summer having served his two-year contract at the club.
During this period, Ronaldo has scored 93 goals in just 105 games.
But the Portugal captain is unhappy over the club’s failure to win trophies despite his stellar form in front of goal .
They finished third in the league standings this season.
Hierro said that Al-Nassr are in contact with Ronaldo over the same issue.
“Ronaldo’s presence from the beginning is a national project. He is a huge phenomenon in the history of football and has helped the league grow.
“We are in contact to renew his contract and hope he continues with us,” said Hierro (via Al Nassr Zone on X).
