Will Cristiano Ronaldo feature in today's pre-season friendly for Al-Nassr?

In order to make a serious run toward the Saudi Pro League championship in the 2024–2025 season, Al-Nassr must enhance their squad and refine their strategies. They drew 1-1 with Louletano DC, although their development in that regard has been unsatisfactory thus far.

Al-Nassr hopes to resume their winning ways against Portimonense. The fans are excited for these preseason games because they think they will assist Al-Nassr achieve greater success in the forthcoming campaign.

Several well-known players made a comeback for the preseason and will likely play significant roles in the upcoming campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined the team in 2022 and has served as their main goal scorer in every game, will be one of the main stars.

Fans won't get to see Ronaldo anytime soon, though, since the Portuguese striker is presently on vacation and it's unclear when he'll be back in action. Portugal was led by Ronaldo to the UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinals, where they were defeated by France on penalties. This implies that he will receive additional days off in order to recover fully before the new season begins.

Ronaldo is not expected to participate for Al-Nassr against Portimonense in this preseason match. When he comes back from vacation, after leading Portugal deep into the 2024 European Championship, that remains to be seen. The forward is presently taking his days off, and the team has not yet announced when Ronaldo will play.

Real Madrid in talks to sign Al-Nassr superstar

Although Real Madrid was unable to purchase Leny Yoro, the Los Blancos are looking to acquire an alternative. Aymeric Laporte, the 30-year-old Spanish defender who plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, is now the target of Los Blancos.

Laporte, Cristiano Ronaldo's colleague, proved his mettle in the European Championship by leading Spain to victory. In order to be competitive with Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba, Madrid is ready to add another center-half, and Laporte, who only left Manchester City in 2024 is apparently willing to return to Europe.
