Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club, Al-Nassr, has clarified that the contract that the Portuguese signed did not include an agreement to support Saudi Arabia’s joint bid for the 2030 World Cup.

This clarification was made on Tuesday via the club’s Twitter handle insisting that Ronaldo has no commitment with the club for a World Cup bid. 

The 37-year-old signed an eye-watering deal worth £175 million yearly with Al-Nassr in December, 2022. Reports in Spain claimed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has a clause in his contract that will see him become an ambassador for Saudi Arabia’s bid for the 2030 World Cup.

However, Al-Nassr has now denied this claim and insisted that the forward’s  main focus is to help the club achieve success. 

“Al Nassr FC would like to clarify that contrary to news reports, Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nassr does not entail commitments to any World Cup bids.

“His main focus is on Al Nassr and to work with his teammates to help the club achieve success,” Al-Nassr tweeted.

Ronaldo joined the Saudi club in December after mutually ending his contract with Manchester in November following his explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan.
