Journalist Confirms Ronaldo’s Major Stake

Saudi sports journalist Abdulaziz Alosime stated on X:

"The privatization of these clubs's only matter of time. The process will be gradual likely starting next year. Al Nassr currently has the highest value and Cristiano Ronaldo owns the largest individual stake up to 20%"

He added:

"Al Nassr's set to be top target for investors. It’s the face of Saudi & Asian football"

Ronaldo’s Influence Grows

Ronaldo who joined Al Nassr in Jan 2023 on free transfer after dramatic exit from Man United renewed his contract in June to remain with the Riyadh based club until 2027.

Initial reports estimated Ronaldo's stake in the club at 15% valued at 45.3 million dollar but new data suggests he now controls 20% cementing his influence both on and off the pitch.

The legendary forward signed historic deal worth over 200 million euro for 2.5 years paving the way for global stars to join the Saudi Pro League.
