This striker that Ronaldo wants at all costs in Al-Nassr

From his extension of contract until 2027, Cristiano Ronaldo has not just shone in the field: he now weighs directly on the sports strategy of Al-Nassr. And when approaching a new decisive season for the Saudi club, the Portuguese legend has made a clear requirement: the arrival of an attacker capable of feeding it and raising the offensive level of the team. A target that he knows well and that he wants to see disembarking without delay.

Luis Diaz, Royal Priority of Ronaldo

According to Sportit is Luis Diaz that Ronaldo insistently claims. The Liverpool winger, author of 17 goals last season, is the subject of a growing interest in Al-Nassr, the only club ready to align with the 100 million euros required by the Reds. And if the Colombian international would favor a transfer to Barcelona or Bayern, none of these destinations seems ready to make such an offer for the moment. Which gives a step ahead of the Saudi club.

The idea of CR7 is clear: place Diaz on the left side to serve it and help it cross the symbolic bar of the 1000 career goals. This obsession with figure, coupled with its growing internal influence, makes this file burning. Especially since Liverpool has not excluded a departure if the financial conditions are met, in a context where Arne Slot seeks to renew her offensive line.

Towards a 9 -digit decision

After refusing a first offer from Bayern, the leaders of Liverpool know that the pressure rises. Diaz does not seem closed to a start, especially if the situation does not evolve on the side of extra time. Al-Nassr, with unlimited means and Ronaldo lobbying, could soon tip the balance of power. And push the Reds to open the door.

A transfer to 100 million euros remains rare, even in the current inflationary context. But with a Cristiano Ronaldo committed like never before, and an al-Nassr ready for all the follies to offer him a last baroud of honor at the height of his myth, the operation could well succeed. And upset the summer of the Reds.
