Al-Nassr Denies Cristiano Ronaldo Ownership Claims in Saudi Pro League

Al-Nassr, a prominent Saudi Arabian football club, refutes rumors suggesting that Cristiano Ronaldo has ownership in the club. The club's chairman, Abdullah Al Maje, clarified that Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is solely a player and holds no ownership stake in Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo's arrival in January 2023 followed a controversial exit from Manchester United in November 2022, marking a significant development in Saudi Arabian football. Al-Nassr has seen an influx of global football stars like Neymar Jr, Karim Benzema, and N'Golo Kant, enhancing the league's visibility and commercial appeal.

While Ronaldo's off-pitch influence in attracting top talent to the Saudi Pro League is acknowledged, Al Maje firmly dismissed claims of Ronaldo having any ownership share in the club. The 39-year-old forward has been instrumental on the field, scoring 110 goals and providing 22 assists in 126 appearances for Al-Nassr, establishing himself as a key player in the club's history.
