Sack manager, director & half the players! Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr demands as Portuguese GOAT stalls on extending record-breaking contract in Saudi Pro League

The expectation was, having made a trend-setting move to the Middle East in 2023, that CR7 would agree an extension to his record-breaking deal at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr - with his current terms set to expire this summer.

No paperwork has been signed, though, and Ronaldo is said to have grown frustrated and concerned by the lack of success that Al-Nassr have been enjoying. He still has just one trophy to his name across two-and-a-half years in Riyadh.

With Ronaldo stalling on prolonging his spell with Al-Nassr, Okaz Sports claims that the Portuguese GOAT has laid out his demands in order for an agreement to be reached. He is calling for sweeping change.

Ronaldo is said to be keen for Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro to leave his role as sporting director and follow head coach Stefano Pioli through the exits. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is also of the opinion that half of Al-Nassr’s squad are not good enough.

Former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, goalkeeper Bento and striker Wesley are among those that Ronaldo reportedly wants to see moved out. He is happy for fellow forwards Sadio Mane and Jhon Duran to stay.

Ronaldo wants a new director to be brought in that has full control over transfer decisions, with it clear that a freshening up of ranks on and off the field is required in order for Al-Nassr to compete for the biggest of domestic and continental honours.
