Transfer anger fuels sudden departure rumours

Will Ronaldo join Messi at Inter Miami after Al-Nassr fallout?

Cristiano Ronaldo is being linked with possible Al-Nassr exit after reportedly refusing to play against Al-Riyadh due to transfer frustration.

Ronaldo misses match as tension grows at Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr has come under fresh spotlight after reports claimed the Portuguese star chose not to feature in the Saudi Pro League match against Al-Riyadh.

Portuguese outlet A Bola suggested Ronaldo’s absence was not related to injury or illness but instead linked to growing frustration over the club’s lack of activity in the January transfer window.

The 40 year-old is said to be unhappy with the level of investment and believes other teams under the same ownership structure have received stronger support.

Al-Nassr currently sit three points behind league leaders Al-Hilal and Ronaldo’s reported protest has raised questions about his next move.

Contract clause and possible summer exit

Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr is officially set to run until summer 2027 but speculation has increased following claims that a key clause could allow him to leave earlier, with June 2026 mentioned as possible turning point.

The forward has remained prolific since arriving in Saudi Arabia in 2023 scoring 117 goal in 113 match but reports indicate he is disappointed by what he sees as limited squad reinforcements.

If Ronaldo decides to leave, bookmakers believe move abroad could follow quickly.

MLS link & Messi reunion talk

One of the strongest rumours involves possible transfer to Major League Soccer where Ronaldo could join Inter Miami and play alongside long-time rival Lionel Messi.

Such a move would be a major boost for the American league and would create one of the biggest football stories in modern history.

Many predictions indicate that Ronaldo joining any MLS club is the most likely possibility, with Inter Miami being considered ideal destination for global marketing and attracting the attention of fans.

The idea of Ronaldo & Messi sharing the same team is now being discussed more seriously than ever.

Sporting CP return also mentioned

Another potential option is emotional return to Sporting Lisbon, the club where Ronaldo began his professional career in 2002.

Reports suggest homecoming would appeal strongly to his family and could offer him one final European chapter, possibly including Champions League football.

Ronaldo still chasing history

Ronaldo recently said he plans to continue playing for up to two more years, with a personal target of reaching 1000 career goals.

He already holds the record for most official goals in football history with 961.

Despite his age, the Portugal captain remains motivated and has insisted he still wants to win trophies wherever he plays next.
