The chairman of Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, Abdullah Al-Majed, has clarified that Cristiano Ronaldo does not own any shares in the club.
Al-Majed made the clarification while addressing speculation surrounding Ronaldo’s influence and role within the Saudi Pro League following the Portuguese star’s high-profile move to Al-Nassr in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United.
Ronaldo’s arrival marked a turning point for the league, paving the way for several global stars — including Neymar Jr., Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kanté — to join Saudi clubs, significantly boosting international attention.
Speaking in an interview reported by Sportskeeda, Al-Majed acknowledged the striker’s impact beyond the pitch, particularly in attracting top talent to the league.
“He helped to convince a lot of the players,” Al-Majed said. “Ronaldo doesn’t have a share in the club, and this remains the business of the owners.”
Since joining Al-Nassr, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been prolific, recording 110 goals and 22 assists in 126 appearances for the club.
