Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly considering a dramatic exit from Al Nassr this summer

As tensions continue to rise behind the scenes. Reports suggest the Portuguese superstar has been unhappy in recent weeks and has allegedly refused to take part in training sessions, signaling growing frustration with the club’s direction.

According to reports from international media, Ronaldo is said to be angry over transfer decisions involving Saudi Pro League rivals, particularly claims that Karim Benzema could move from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal. The situation has reportedly left Ronaldo feeling sidelined, with sources claiming he believes Al Nassr have failed to match the ambition expected after his high profile arrival in Saudi Arabia. CBS Sports reports that Ronaldo feels betrayed by the club’s lack of decisive transfer activity and is now threatening to walk away when the season ends.

There had been suggestions that the five time Ballon d’Or winner was close to ending his protest and returning to action ahead of Al Nassr’s clash with Al Ittihad on Friday, February 6. However, uncertainty still surrounds his immediate future, with no official confirmation from the player or the club.

Ronaldo remains the highest paid footballer in history, reportedly earning around £500,000 per day under his Saudi contract. Despite the enormous financial package, sources indicate that sporting ambition and competitiveness remain his top priorities.

Some observers now believe the situation could go even further. If frustrations continue and no compromise is reached, there is growing speculation that Ronaldo could consider stepping away from top level football entirely rather than move to another club. While no retirement decision has been confirmed, the possibility of him quitting football altogether is now being discussed as uncertainty clouds the final chapter of his legendary career.
