Ronaldo denied this news in statements while he was with the Portugal national team in Qatar to participate in the 2022 World Cup, which he bid farewell to in the quarter-finals at the hands of the Moroccan national team.
Despite this, the Spanish newspaper "Marca" confirmed that the Al Nassr administration is awaiting Ronaldo's arrival in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, before the end of this month, in order to sign the contract.
Ronaldo is currently in Dubai for the Christmas holidays, according to what was published by the newspaper, as there are only 10 days left until the opening of the winter transfer window.
The newspaper pointed out that Ronaldo's hopes of joining a European club have become very weak after the termination of his contract with Manchester United, despite his presence at Real Madrid's training headquarters for days, after the Portuguese team's exit from the World Cup.
