Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr appears to be up in the air. At least that’s what Saudi journalist and former club spokesperson Saud Al-Sarami claims.
““Cristiano is no longer at his best at Al Nassr, and I believe he will leave during the winter transfer window,” he said on the “Al Arabiya Sports” podcast.

These remarks came as a surprise, although, given his age, such a development could be considered normal. The 41-year-old soccer player is the captain and a key player for Al-Nassr, and he is currently in excellent form, pursuing one of the biggest goals of his career: reaching 1,000 goals, a feat that is anything but easy.
For now, this is merely a personal opinion. However, the fact that it comes from such an authoritative source has set off alarm bells and caused quite a stir not only in Saudi Arabia but around the world. It remains to be seen whether these specific statements reflect reality.
In any case, things haven’t been going very well for the 41-year-old superstar in his recent games with the Saudi Arabian champions, as he has found the back of the net just once in Al-Nassr’s last four matches, while the heavy 4-0 loss to Giorgos Giakoumakis’s Al Ain—in fact, the Greek forward scored his team’s fourth goal— in the AFC Champions League further intensified the pressure on him, with Angelos Postecoglou coming to his defense at the press conference.
