The Saudi Pro League is preparing to sell Cristiano Ronaldo for £43m, according to reports. The Portugal captain, 41, is nearing the end of his tenure in the Middle East after joining Al Nassr in 2023.

Despite the Manchester United connection, the club isn't pursuing a reunion deal. Sources close to the Red Devils suggest the Old Trafford hierarchy doubts Ronaldo's return value given his age and recent form.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are monitoring younger talent instead, targeting Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Brentford’s Michael Kayode. That shift underscores a generational reset in the Premier League, where long-term deals for aging stars carry more risk.

With Ronaldo’s departure looming, attention turns to where he might land — or if this signals the end of his glittering career. Fans and analysts alike are watching how this saga unfolds, especially with summer windows heating up.
