Al Nassr: Cristiano Ronaldo’s release clause set at €50 million.

The situation around Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr continues to tighten. According to several sources, the Portuguese striker would have a release clause in his contract, opening the door to a possible departure as early as June. Aged 40, the captain of the Portuguese national team is currently at odds with his management. On strike, he did not take part in the Saudi Pro League match played Monday against Al Riyadh, another revealing episode of his deep discontent.

According to these reports, Ronaldo could consider a future away from Saudi Arabia at the end of the season, with potential links pointing toward Major League Soccer (MLS) or a possible return to Europe. His release clause would be set at 50 million euros.

The five-time Ballon d’Or would particularly blame the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), majority owner of Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli since 2023, for slowing the strengthening of his club. Ronaldo argues that this policy upsets the competition and prevents Al-Nassr from having the means to fully contend for the title. Another chapter in the saga surrounding the future of a star whose influence extends far beyond the pitch.
