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

Saudi Pro League

Al Nassr FC

Al-Taawoun

<p>The expectation was, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/play-against-goat-cristiano-ronaldo-turns-fifa-into-real-life-starry-eyed-saudi-pro-league-rivals/bltc7999803ea65420e" target="_blank">made a trend-setting move to the Middle East</a> in 2023, that CR7 would <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-agrees-extend-al-nassr-contract-neymar-al-hilal-highest-paid-player-football-history/blt6f4903f86d02e6b5" target="_blank">agree an extension to his record-breaking deal</a> at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr - with his current terms set to expire this summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>No paperwork has been signed, though, and Ronaldo is said to have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/league-plays-in-makes-possible-cristiano-ronaldo-bid-1000-goals-big-saudi-pro-league-future-call-record-breaking-al-nassr-contract/blta20b393a81def2bd" target="_blank">grown frustrated and concerned by the lack of success</a> that Al-Nassr have been enjoying. He still <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-doesnt-like-coming-second-al-nassr-told-what-must-do-deliver-title-dreams-demanding-cr7/bltc23c1ec3030bb20d" target="_blank">has just one trophy to his name</a> across two-and-a-half years in Riyadh.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

He is calling for sweeping change.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ronaldo is said to be keen for Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro to leave his role as sporting director and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-new-manager-stefano-pioli-leave-al-nassr-trophyless-season-saudi-arabia-cr7/blt5a374fd55fbb5352" target="_blank">follow head coach Stefano Pioli through the exits</a>. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is also of the opinion that half of Al-Nassr’s squad are not good enough.</p>

WHAT CRISTIANO RONALDO IS DEMANDING

<p>Former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/demanding-cristiano-ronaldo-hands-out-tips-to-al-nassr-team-mates-portuguese-goat-not-afraid-to-talk-if-he-feels-something-needs-to-improve/blt18f877e8dcc79d9d" target="_blank">goalkeeper Bento</a> and striker Wesley are among those that Ronaldo reportedly wants to see moved out. He is happy for fellow forwards Sadio Mane and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-still-best-player-most-important-name-football-jhon-duran-huge-billing-iconic-al-nassr-team-mate/blt4328acac7cf5d92f" target="_blank">Jhon Duran to stay</a>.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>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 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-final-career-goals-man-utd-coach-cr7-objectives-lebron-james-target-involving-portuguese-goat-son/blt9b4b88b27269a562" target="_blank">compete for the biggest of domestic and continental honours</a>.</p>
