Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January this year on a free transfer. This player has played quite well, contributing 14 goals in 16 matches in the Saudi Arabian national championship.
Unfortunately, he could not help Al Nassr win the championship of this tournament.
In recent times, the press has been constantly speculating about the possibility that Ronaldo will leave Al Nassr because he is "fed up". However, the number 7 superstar himself has denied this information.
The Portuguese striker said: "I still have a contract with Al Nassr until 2025 and I am happy with my current life. I want to continue contributing to Al Nassr so I will stay in Saudi Arabia.
Next season I hope Al Nassr will do better. We have improved significantly in the last 5 or 6 months. Therefore, I believe Al Nassr can win the Saudi Arabian championship in the near future."
It is not impossible that this summer, the Saudi Arabian league will welcome two more stars, Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema. Messi is said to be close to joining Al Hilal Club, while Benzema is likely to join Al Ittihad.
Talking about this prospect, Ronaldo said: "They will definitely be warmly welcomed if they come here. Their appearance adds value to the Saudi Arabian national championship.
For me, this tournament is an attractive playground for both Arabian players and colleagues from abroad."
Saudi Arabia is in need of publicity for its 2030 World Cup bid, so they spare no expense in recruiting big stars.
Ronaldo himself receives 200 million Euros per year at Al Nassr Club (including salary, bonuses and participation in promotional activities).
If he goes to Saudi Arabia, Messi could receive up to 300 million Euros/year, while Benzema could receive 100 million Euros/year.
