A new report claims that Cristiano Ronaldo’s lucrative contract with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr could see him return to the Premier League to join Newcastle United if they make the top four.
When Ronaldo became a free agent, it was claimed that the Portuguese star was seeking Champions League football. But he instead opted to go to Saudi Arabia, away from Europe’s top club competition.
A takeover of the Tyneside club by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund was completed in October 2021.
Over the past 15 months, they have invested heavily in players, and turned around the club’s fortunes from the relegation spots to being in the right place for Europe’s premier club tournament.
Ronaldo could make his debut for Al-Nassr against Al Ta’ee on Thursday January 5, after his medical.
