Ronaldo pushes Al Nassr for full transfer control and targets Bruno Fernandes

Cristiano Ronaldo is pressuring Al Nassr to give its sporting department independent authority over all transfer decisions, removing any administrative interference. He argues that a clear, technically‑driven recruitment strategy is essential for the Saudi club to compete domestically and in Asian competitions.

Ronaldo is also personally leading efforts to open negotiations with Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes. Al Nassr officials are reportedly assessing Fernandes' salary expectations as a first step toward a possible summer 2026 signing. Ronaldo, who joined Al Nassr in December 2022 and is contracted through 2027, sees the acquisition of his former Portugal teammate as a way to bolster the squad's quality.

The move reflects the broader trend of high‑profile players influencing club policy in the Saudi Pro League, which has attracted several marquee signings in recent seasons.
