    Riyadh: Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly planning to leave the Saudi Arabian football club, Al-Nassr and is considering taking a new position at his former club Real Madrid.

    According to El Nacional, Ronaldo has opted to leave Saudi Arabia because of linguistic and cultural problems.

    On December 30, Ronaldo joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr on a 2.5-year contract. He had signed a deal worth more than 200 million euros after a dispute with Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.

    Since joining the Al-Nassr, he has scored 11 goals in 14 appearances but has run into a few bumps in his path.

    He missed the first two games of the league due to the suspension he served at Manchester United, the team could not sustain that spark with Ronaldo starting well as captain at Al-Nassr.

    After losing the match against Al Hilal in the Saudi League, Al-Nassr’s status in the league is deteriorating. Cristiano’s obscene gesture towards Al-Hilal fans after returning from defeat became very controversial. Hilal’s victory was by two uncontested goals in a game where Cristiano faded.

    On April 18, a Saudi lawyer called for Cristiano Ronaldo to be deported for public indecency after he appeared grabbing his crotch towards fans while walking off the pitch.

    A video shared on social media platforms showed Ronaldo grabbing his crotch as he left the pitch in response to fans chanting the name of Lionel Messi.

    It is reported that all this and more led to Ronaldo’s decision to leave Al-Nassr and join the Spanish giants.

    Riyadh: The Portuguese star and player of the Saudi club Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo, was provoked after his team’s victory against Al-Batin by a young fan of the French player, Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi.

    Despite the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest football figure in Saudi Arabia now, the Portuguese star is not loved by all the fans in that country, and battles with the fans of Messi.

    Another such incident happened following his team’s win over Al-Batin.

    Ronaldo was walking through the tunnel of the King Saud University stadium, when a young fan shouted at Ronaldo, saying, “Messi is much better.”

    Ronaldo’s reaction caught the fans’ attention as he seemingly ignored what the fans said.

    In a video doing the rounds on social media platforms, Ronaldo is seen ignoring the fan before shouting “And that was the easy match” to the people around him.

    As per Marca, this donation is valued at 350,000 dollars (Rs 2,86,09,875).

    This humanitarian stance is not the first on the part of Cristiano Ronaldo towards those affected in Turkey and Syria, as he was the first to participate in the campaign launched by the Turkish Merih Demiral, the current Atalanta defender, who teamed up with the “Don” in Juventus.

    Demiral published a tweet on February 7, 2023, in which he wrote in Turkish, “I spoke with Cristiano Ronaldo and he told me that he was very sad about what happened in Turkey.”

    The former Juventus defender added, “We will auction off the signed Ronaldo shirt in my collection, and all the proceeds will be used in the areas affected by the earthquake.”

    Days later, on February 9, 2023, Demiral succeeded in selling Cristiano’s shirt, along with his former Juventus colleagues, Argentine Paulo Dybala and Italian Leonardo Bonci, for a large sum.

    Demiral tweeted, “In the auction that we started, I found 3 shirts of their owners. The shirts of Ronaldo, Bonucci and Dybala, which were offered in the auction, were sold for a total amount of 5 million Turkish liras (about 266 thousand dollars).”

    He added, “All proceeds from the sale will be used to help the people in the earthquake areas.”

    Earlier, Ronaldo paid for a child’s brain surgery at a cost of 83,000 dollars (Rs 67,85,831) and donated 165,000 dollars (Rs 1,34,89,905) to help fund a cancer centre in his native Portugal.

    Ronaldo also donated one million and 200,000 (Rs 1,63,51,400) dollars to Portuguese hospitals during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
