Club President Reveals Unsuccessful Attempt to Sign Cristiano Ronaldo From Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr contract is set to expire on June 30. The Portuguese superstar's future was a subject of doubt for a while, and added fuel to the fire with a cryptic social media post following Al-Nassr's final game of the season.

There were rumors that Ronaldo could join a new team short term to play in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, set to take place in the United States. There were also suggestions about the five-time Ballon d'Or winner potentially joining a new team long term.

Moroccan club Wydad AC also tried their luck for Ronaldo, as their president has revealed. However, the attempt was unsuccessful. Wydad president Hicham Ait-Menna said in a recent episode of RMC's After Afrique show:

Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't have come for the money because he doesn't need it. I don't know how the rumor got around. But it's true that I contacted one of his agent friends three and a half or four months ago, saying, 'Wouldn't he want to play in the Club World Cup?' He replied, 'Listen, I don't think so.' I think FIFA was also interested in bringing in players who play in Saudi Arabia. To give more excitement to this edition, which is the first,Hicham Ait-Menna
