Cristiano Ronaldo will turn his focus back to Al-Nassr and the Saudi Pro League tomorrow when his side take on Al-Khaleej. It has been quite the week for the Portuguese, who spent some of it hob-nobbing with US president Donald Trump in the White House as part of a Saudi delegation to Washington that also included crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Ronaldo is now back in the Middle East ahead of Al-Nassr's game tomorrow.
Al-Nassr can move three points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League when Cristiano Ronaldo's side visit top-flight newcomers NEOM on Saturday. Jorge Jesus's side have won all of their first seven league games, although their 2-1 home victory over Al-Fayha last time out came only courtesy of a 104th-minute penalty by Ronaldo for the five-time Champions League winner's second goal of the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Ronaldo Júnior, scored his first goal for Portugal's under-16 side in a 3-0 victory over Wales at the weekend. He will line up for Portugal U16s against their England counterparts on Tuesday. At the weekend against Wales, in just his second appearance for Portugal's U16 side, the Al Nassr academy forward started and struck the opener in the 42nd minute with a right-footed finish.
The match marks a significant occasion for Indian football, with the Saudi Pro League heavyweights visiting Indian soil for the first time in this competition. Cristiano Ronaldo has not travelled with the team to India, but Al-Nassr's squad remains packed with international stars capable of turning the game on its head. Portuguese forward Joao Felix is expected to spearhead the attack after his recent hat-trick against Al Fateh, supported by Senegalese veteran Sadio Mane and French winger Kingsley Coman.
According to a report from Fichajes, Al Nassr are one of the strongest candidates to sign the player in January. They are looking to bring in a replacement for Aymeric Laporte, and they have identified the 32-year-old Manchester United player as a potential replacement. Signing him for a nominal price in January could be a masterstroke from them. They need to tighten up defensively, and Maguire would be a very useful acquisition.
Al Nassr have unveiled their brand-new adidas home kit for the 2025/26 season a bold design inspired by Riyadh's blazing sunshine, the Arabian desert, and the aura of their nickname, The Knights. The shirt arrives in the club's traditional yellow and navy, but it's the intricate graphics that elevate it to something more than just a jersey. A radiating pattern flows across the base, symbolising the sun that dominates Riyadh's skyline while doubling as a visual nod to a knight's aura of strength.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Kingsley Coman is set to sign for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. Coman has said yes to the deal occurring, and now Al Nassr wishes to receive the green light from Bayern Munich. The deal can be completed soon.
