Al Hilal, the champion club of Saudi Arabia, is ready to strike a very big blow by snatching its Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo from Al Nassr.
According to daily Sport, Al Hilal plan to terminate Neymar’s contract in the new year and will immediately look to replace him with a big name. Their priority is Ronaldo, who is coming to the end of his contract at Al Nassr at the end of the Saudi Pro League season.
Ronaldo rather than Vinicius
Al-Hilal also expressed interest in Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, but his billion-euro buyout clause put him off. This is why the Ronaldo option appears more serious. And the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would also have reason to be tempted by this move to the enemy. Given the competitiveness of Al-Hilal, he could finally compete seriously in the Asian Champions League and with the ambition of winning it. He has never won this event before.
Ronaldo, 39, has scored 68 goals and provided 18 assists in 78 competitive matches since joining Al Nassr last year. He receives a salary of 200 million euros per year.
