Will Ronaldo stay at Al Nassr and go on loan to Al Hilal?

Will Ronaldo stay at Al Nassr and go on loan to Al Hilal?
Another sensational scenario is being discussed in Saudi Arabian football. The next turning point in the career of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo may happen. According to reports, Al Nassr is considering the option of extending his contract and then sending him on a short-term loan to rival club Al Hilal.

Two-pronged strategy - both stay and go

Al Nassr sporting director Fernando Hierro told reporters that discussions with Ronaldo have begun in the near future. One of the sources confirming this information is CBS Sports journalist James Benj. According to him, the club is studying the possibility of extending the contract with the star striker and loaning him to Al Hilal before the Club World Cup.

What is the PIF against?

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) does not approve of Ronaldo being transferred to a club in another country. Instead, he would prefer to see him play for one of the country's most prestigious teams, Al Hilal. The reason is clear: the Club World Cup is a huge opportunity to boost Saudi Arabia's profile, and having a star like Ronaldo play for a local club is strategically important.

Combining rivals

Interestingly, Al Nassr and Al Hilal are two of the biggest rivals in Saudi football. The derbies between them are particularly important for fans. If Ronaldo were to play for Al Hilal in this scenario, it would have a significant impact not only on the team but also on the dynamics of the league as a whole.

Cristiano Ronaldo's career in Saudi Arabia could reach another milestone. It is very likely that he will temporarily play for Al Nassr in the Club World Cup, while remaining with Al Hilal. This would be an interesting scenario not only from a marketing and political point of view, but also for football fans.

However, the stars are not only shining in the sky - they are also shining in the Saudi football arena.
