The Catalan giants are reportedly hoping the Portuguese international will take matters into his own hands to force a permanent stay in Spain.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been given the green light to return to Al-Nassr training following a successful rehabilitation programme in Madrid and Riyadh.

Scott McTominay is not believed to be in talks over a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League as he wishes to remain with Napoli.

As Mohamed Salah prepares to bid farewell to the Premier League, the Saudi Pro League has emerged as the most likely destination for the 33-year-old. While Al-Nassr remains a financial powerhouse in the region, questions have been raised about how the Egyptian would fit alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese icon has previously called for more investment in the squad, but there are doubts whether he would want another global superstar sharing the spotlight in Riyadh.
