Ronaldo gives up 200 million euros in income to own a club in Spain?

Ronaldo's future uncertain because he demanded to fire the coach, replace half of the Al Nassr squad

According to the Saudi press, Ronaldo is completely healthy, but in the last two consecutive matches he has been left out of Al Nassr's squad by coach Stefano Pioli, despite the team still trying to find a place in the AFC Champions League Elite next season.

The reason is because Ronaldo made a shocking move, demanding that the club's board of directors fire the Italian coach and replace half of the team in order to win the Saudi Pro League championship.

Without Ronaldo, Al Nassr beat weak opponent Al Okhdood with a score of 9-0 on May 13, but just drew 1-1 with Al Taawoun at home on May 17, leaving them in 4th place, 7 points behind second-placed team Al Hilal.

With only two rounds left in the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr's hopes of qualifying for Asia's top cup competition are fading. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad, led by veteran stars Benzema and N'Golo Kante, has already won the championship.

Al Nassr Club in the 3 seasons with Ronaldo has not won any official championship title, except for the friendly Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023, and is about to lose its place in the AFC Champions League Elite, making the team's fans extremely disappointed. "They are no longer interested in Ronaldo's appearance in the competition," Marca expressed.

"Therefore, Ronaldo is very likely to leave Al Nassr after the current season ends. This famous player's contract is about to expire on June 30. There are many rumors that Ronaldo will extend for another 2 years, with each year having a huge income of up to more than 200 million euros.

But this plan has now been postponed, with both Ronaldo and Al Nassr remaining silent after recent incidents (the team's decline, Ronaldo demanding the dismissal of the coach and half of the squad). Until now, Ronaldo's future in Saudi Arabia is still open and it is unclear what will happen," Marca added.

At the same time, also according to Marca , Ronaldo is being invited by a businessman in Saudi Arabia, Mr. Mohamed Al-Khereiji, head of the investment group SMC Group, which has just bought the club UD Almeria (Spain's second division), to join the group of owners of this team.

Ronaldo is very close to Mr. Al-Khereiji, because he was the one who brought the Portuguese star to join Al Nassr Club, through negotiations since December 2022.

"Ronaldo is very interested in this new project. He is likely to become the majority shareholder of UD Almeria and the president of the team. The group of businessman Al-Khereiji has faith in Ronaldo, because of his business talent, as well as his great influence on the public.

SMC Group manages many large businesses, including the management rights to important sports venues in Saudi Arabia, such as Al-Awwal Park, home of Al Nassr where Ronaldo is playing, and also the venue for the 2034 World Cup," according to Marca .
