Ronaldo's power
At Al Nassr, Ronaldo holds a 15% stake in the team after a recently signed expensive contract extension (lasting until June 2027). The 40-year-old player holds great power at the Saudi Arabian club, such as appointing key personnel including Sports Director Simao Coutinho and Head Coach Jorge Jesus (both fellow Portuguese).

In addition, regarding Al Nassr's squad preparing for the 2025-2026 season, Ronaldo was the one who influenced player Joao Felix (25 years old) to join on loan from Chelsea and buy him outright from next season (total deal up to 43 million pounds), according to the British newspaper, Daily Mail .
But that's not all, Ronaldo and his associates are quietly carrying out the biggest "blockbuster" deal in the ongoing summer transfer window.

Even much bigger than the deals Liverpool FC bought midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for 100 million pounds, or just asked to buy striker Alexander Isak (Newcastle) for 110 million pounds plus additional fees but was rejected.
That is to convince MU midfielder Bruno Fernandes to join Al Nassr for a new world record fee of up to 200 million pounds, A Bola said on August 2. On the same day, Daily Mail also confirmed this news, adding that negotiations are underway.

"MU has spent a total of more than 70 million pounds to buy two top attacking stars in the Premier League, Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha. Coach Amorim still wants to strengthen his squad further, they are pursuing with Newcastle to compete to buy striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig.
But at the same time, they are also letting players leave without plans, such as Rashford who went to Barcelona. Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrell Malacia have not yet found a new destination. If these players are not transferred, MU will hardly have more funds to buy," said Daily Mail .
But there will be another solution, which is that MU will let Bruno Fernandes leave and receive a huge amount of money to build the squad as coach Amorim wants, according to Daily Mail .
"Bruno Fernandes confirmed that he had rejected an offer from Al Hilal in early June. But now, Ronaldo, the star player's senior in the Portuguese national team, is trying to convince him to join Al Nassr after having just recruited Joao Felix. Coach Jorge Jesus was also the one who advised Ronaldo to choose Bruno Fernandes, considering this a new highlight for the club in Saudi Arabia in a new development stage," Daily Mail added.
If Bruno Fernandes leaves, it will be a big shock for MU, because this 30-year-old midfielder is an indispensable pillar of the Old Trafford team. But Ronaldo's persuasion can change Bruno Fernandes' mind, in which the goal of them playing together at a club (including Joao Felix and another Portuguese player, midfielder Otavio) to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, is also an important factor to consider, Daily Mail emphasized.
