Cristiano Ronaldo may become co-owner of Al-Nasr

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo (41 years old) is considering the possibility of acquiring a stake in Saudi Arabian Al-Nasr. A Bola reports.

A group of five investors is preparing an offer to buy the club from the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. Each consortium participant will invest a minimum of $100 million. The fate of the deal could be decided in the next two days at an emergency meeting.

Among the potential investors is American businessman Jerry Cardinale, founder of RedBird Capital Partners. He owns Milan and controls the French Toulouse. In addition to him, the group may include Saudi businessmen Ibrahim al-Muhaydib, Mohammed al-Khuraiji and Sharaf al-Hariri.

If the deal is approved, Ronaldo will become the first star football player in history to combine playing for the club with the role of its co-owner. The Portuguese joined Al-Nasr in January 2023 and has since made 148 appearances for the team, scoring 126 goals and providing 24 assists. His contract runs until the summer of 2027.
