Transfer: Expert speaks on Ronaldo leaving Al Nassr

Popular football analyst Ben Jacobs has predicted that Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Al Nassr until his contract expires in the summer of 2025.

However, he opined that the player would be bothered by Saudi fans making fun of the great striker by calling him Lionel Messi.

After receiving a red card during Al Nassr’s 2-1 loss against Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal, Ronaldo is anticipated to miss a few games.

Despite his incredible scoring totals, the Portuguese have yet to celebrate winning a major trophy during his tenure at the club, having lost out on five titles.

“I think he’ll do another season. I think Ronaldo still feels that he’s the one capitalising on this. So there’s a personal aspect that feeds into maybe his ego that he started all of this.

“And every time he does anything wrong, opposition fans are chanting the name ‘Leo Messi.’

“And that juxtaposition of Messi winning the World cup, Ronaldo being in Saudi Arabia, I think is really irking him,” Jacobs said in an interview with TalkSport.
