Al-Nassr launched an ambitious approach for Pep Guardiola prior to the manager's newly confirmed announcement that he will officially step down from Manchester City at the end of the season. The pursuit by the Saudi Pro League champions opens up the sensational possibility of a historic tactical partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jorge Jesus has confirmed his departure from Al-Nassr after winning the Saudi Pro League title and insisted Pep Guardiola should be “proud” to replace him amid rumours linking the Manchester City boss with the club. The Portuguese coach also opened up on Cristiano Ronaldo’s role in his move to Saudi Arabia.

The wait is over. Cristiano Ronaldo has finally done it. He's won the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr. The news will doubtless provoke nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders from an awful lot of people. Others will actually be quite bitter about it. What's interesting, though, is how much lifting a first major trophy with Al-Nassr clearly meant to Ronaldo.

Al-Nassr forward Joao Felix has revealed the immense emotional burden Cristiano Ronaldo carried during their gruelling pursuit of domestic silverware in the Middle East. Following a dramatic final-day victory that ended the club's painful seven-year top-flight title drought, the Portuguese playmaker detailed his international teammate's internal suffering and unrelenting desire to capture the championship.
