Rumors of a transfer surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo (41, Al Nasr) are alarming. It seems that they have begun detailed negotiations to leave the Saudi Arabian Professional League (SPL) and return to their surprise home team Manchester United.

Spanish media 'Pichahes' reported on the 4th (Korea Standard Time) that "Ronaldo left Al Nasr this summer and began official contact to return to Manchester United," adding, "Manchester United is also making detailed plans to complete Ronaldo's return."

Ronaldo, who is currently a member of Al Nasr, is said to have become disillusioned with Saudi soccer. It is understood that he is preparing to return to the best stage in Europe.

The conflict between Ronaldo and Al Nasr has been reported day after day. In particular, sports media "ESPN" reported, "Ronaldo is expressing extreme dissatisfaction with Al Nasr's club and league management," adding, "Ronaldo's exclusion from the list of games against Aliyadh was not due to injuries, but as a protest against the club's lack of investment."

According to reports, Ronaldo was furious about the extreme lack of reinforcement of Al Nasr's power compared to other clubs under the Saudi sovereign wealth fund (PIF). In particular, unlike rival Al Hilal, who recruited a large number of big-name players such as Karim Benzema, Mohammed Mate and Pablo Mari in the transfer market, Al Nasr only recruited Iraqi prospect Haider Abdulkarim. Even coach Jorge Jesús Al-Nasr covered Ronaldo, saying, "We cannot recruit the player we want because the club's financial situation is not good."

It seems that clubs outside Saudi Arabia are already in contact with Ronaldo. According to 'Pichahes', U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs have entered the race to recruit Ronaldo.

However, Ronaldo desperately needs to return to his former team. He also plans to give up his annual salary of 180 million euros (about 308.8 billion won). "Ronaldo wants to end his glorious career at Manchester United," Pichahes said. "To this end, he is ready to take a drastic cut in the astronomical salary he receives in the Middle East."

Manchester United leaders are also positively looking at Ronaldo's return. In the past, Ronaldo left the team after rumors of a feud with former coach Erik ten Hag. "Manchester United expects Ronaldo's return to be not just an emotional choice, but a tactical key piece to strengthen the offense," Pichahes said.

Even Ronaldo was disappointed with the treatment of Saudi Arabia and al-Nasr. "Ronaldo feels that he has been used simply as a means of publicity to attract media attention, not as the main character of a league that guarantees fair competition," Pichahes said. "His refusal to play is a clear warning message that he will not overlook the unfair situation."

Ronaldo is currently under contract with Al Nasr until 2027. However, Ronaldo, who is disappointed with the way PIF operates, is very likely to leave Saudi Arabia completely this winter or at least summer.
