But just as in the summer of 2022, Ronaldo was unable to find a suitor in Europe and was forced to travel to the Middle East.
He joined Al Nassr, who were leading the Saudi Pro League standings when he arrived. They lost control of the title race, however, as a result of a decline in performance throughout the spring. Al Ittihad, under by former Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo, took first place.

In a statement to the SPL, Ronaldo reaffirmed his dedication to Al Nassr and complimented the expansion of the league.
"The league is excellent. But I believe we still have a ton of room to expand," he remarked. The league is very competitive. Although our teams and Arab players are excellent, the infrastructure still needs some work.Even the referees should react a little bit quicker thanks to the VAR technology. I believe they still need to make some minor improvements.
But I'm content where I am, I want to stay here, and I'll stay here. And if they keep up the good work they're doing here for the next five years, in my opinion, the Saudi league can rank among the top five leagues in the world.
"Big players and big names, young players, 'old players,' they are all very welcome if they come because that will help the league get a little better,"
Ronaldo continued, "Well, my anticipation was a little bit different. Al Nassr's season withered away. Sincerity be damned, I was hoping to win something this year, but things don't always work out the way we plan or hope; sometimes we need passion and perseverance.
