​Romano: Relationship Between Ronaldo and Al Nassr Has Always Been Good; Issues Are with PIF Hierarchy

February 14 – Noted journalist Fabrizio Romano updated his personal video podcast, discussing situations involving several players and clubs.

On Ronaldo's Return to Al Nassr Training  
Tonight's major update concerns Cristiano Ronaldo, following various rumors in recent weeks. Ronaldo has officially returned today and is available to play for Al Nassr. This is excellent news for fans, especially Al Nassr supporters and Ronaldo fans, because Ronaldo decided to return after communicating with people inside Al Nassr.

Of course, I have always told you, and I will keep repeating for anyone who may still be unclear about the situation – and this is important because I've seen many reports where people don't exactly know what's happening. The fact is, Ronaldo has always had a very good relationship with the people at the club: management, staff, coaches, teammates – everyone working daily at Al Nassr. The issue has always been between Ronaldo and the **highest levels of the Public Investment Fund (PIF)** . PIF manages several clubs in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo was unhappy with some of their decisions, regarding budget matters and certain transfers. So there have indeed been disagreements, but it's not an issue between Ronaldo and Al Nassr. It's between Ronaldo and PIF – the public fund managing some of the clubs.

Previously, Ronaldo wasn't participating in recent matches. But now he's back. As I've been telling you, it will be up to Ronaldo, Al Nassr, and the player himself to communicate what happened and their position. However, today's big news is that, after participating in group training in recent days, Ronaldo is back. He will be available for selection in the upcoming match. That decision has already been made, so this is clearly a very, very significant development for Ronaldo and Al Nassr.

Let me clarify again – this is absolutely not about leaving the club. I've seen many rumors linking him with MLS and other teams, but there is nothing of the sort at the moment. Ronaldo's focus remains on achieving success with Al Nassr. Ronaldo's happiness always depends on results, but also on strategic planning. He's not an ordinary player. He is Cristiano Ronaldo – the first to join the Saudi league at this level and bring credibility to the project. So, on this point, after the events of recent weeks, he also wanted clarity on the situation.

So, Ronaldo is back and available for Al Nassr; he has already traveled with the team.
