Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear: his continuity in the al-nassr depends on a very specific signing. The Portuguese star has demanded the arrival of a key star of FC Barcelona as a condition to renew his contract with the Saudi club. The news, which has shaken both Barça fans and those of Saudi football, marks the beginning of negotiations that could change the summer market.
Sources close to the operation confirm that conversations are already officially underway. In the Camp Nou, President Joan Laporta does not close the door for sale and would be willing to negotiate the departure of one of his most coveted players. The reason: Barça continues to seek liquidity and salary space to restructure its template and reinforce other key positions.
However, the operation will not be simple. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick considers the player in question as an absolutely vital piece for his sports project. According to Catalan Media, Flick has already transferred his resounding negative to the directive and is doing everything possible to retain the footballer. “We cannot afford to lose one of our most important players,” Flick would have said in internal conversations.
On the Al-Nassr side, the Saudi club seems willing to do everything necessary to meet Cristiano’s demand. The Portuguese striker, at 39, remains a key figure for the team, both inside and outside the field. His threat of not renewing has put the Saudi club at a crossroads: yield to his wishes or risk losing his greatest star.
Culés fans, meanwhile, follow the situation nervously. Many fear that the sale of the player – considered one of the most promising talents of the squad – weakens the team for the next season. However, others understand that the club’s financial needs could justify the departure, provided that a convincing offer arrives.
For now, the story is far from finishing. Negotiations between Al-Nassr and Barça promise to be intense and could lead to one of the most unexpected summer. We will be attentive to inform of any novelty about this unprecedented demand for Cristiano Ronaldo and the future of Barça.
