Fabrizio Romano Drops Big Update On Real Madrid Icon Cristiano Ronaldo’s Future
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dropped massive news on Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese superstar will be out of contract with the Saudi Pro League club at the end of the season. There have been reports linking Ronaldo with an exit. Al-Hilal have been rumored as the surprise next destination for the 39-year-old, while Turkish club Fenerbahce's name have also been brought up.
Romano, though, has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo is holding talks with Al-Nassr regarding extending his deal. He claimed that the conversation on the matter is ongoing and dismissed the rumors linking the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to Al-Hilal.
Romano also clarified that Jose Mourinho has already downplayed reports linking Ronaldo to Fenerbahce. Romano said on his YouTube channel:
There’s something to clarify on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is out of contract at the end of the season with Al-Nassr. My understanding is that he’s still speaking with Al-Nassr to extend his contract. The conversation is ongoing. The reports of Ronaldo joining Al-Hilal – the most successful Saudi Pro League side – are not true. The full focus for Cristiano is the Al-Nassr project. Of course there needs to be new players to reinforce the squad – this has to be part of the plan for them in 2025 – and this is the case. Links to Fenerbahce are being played down by Jose Mourinho, but that’s the reality. They’ve never made contact with Cristiano Ronaldo.
