As they wait for Cristiano Ronaldo to arrive this week, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr is allegedly considering the possibility of signing PSG defender Sergio Ramos. Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United was terminated last month as a result of his shocking interview with Piers Morgan, and he is now close to finalising a lucrative move to the Middle East.
With Ronaldo’s arrival on the horizon, the Saudi team is considering a number of European players, including N’Golo Kante of Chelsea. However, it appears the club has now switched its focus to Sergio Ramos, one of Ronaldo’s former teammates. According to MARCA, Al-Nassr club officials are looking into the possibility of recruiting former Madrid defender Ramos while they wait for Ronaldo to arrive.
The club president and sporting director of Al-Nassr are allegedly preparing a trip to Madrid where they hope to pursue a potential Ramos transfer. In any case, the club’s top aim continues to be recruiting Cristiano Ronaldo and they anticipate that he will officially move to Saudi Arabia on January 1. Al-Nassr is certain that Ronaldo will join them, so they have organised a medical assessment as well as reserved accomodation for the forward and his advisors, in advance of the transfer.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr looks imminent
If Ronaldo accepts Al-Nassr’s offer, he will make an estimated £62 million ($75 million) per year, while image rights and other endorsements could significantly increase that amount to over £173 million ($192 million). The Portugal international turned down a move to Saudi Arabia last summer, but now appears poised to make the change after receiving no firm interest from Europe’s top teams.
Al-Nassr is one of Saudi Arabia’s most famous clubs. They have won the nation’s top division nine times, with their most recent victory coming in 2019. Ronaldo’s playing days at the top level, at least outside of international window are over if he joins the Saudi club. Al-Nassr may not have won the league in either 2020 or 2021, but they did succeed in winning the Saudi Super Cup.
However, despite their struggles to stand out on a worldwide scale, the club did participate in the 1999–2000 Club World Cup. They lost 3-1 against Real Madrid in that year’s group match, with goals from Nicolas Anelka and Raul for the Spanish giants. The former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina, Brazilian midfielder Luiz Gustavo, and Cameroonian attacker Vincent Aboubakar are now on the roster for the Saudi giants.
