WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Marca, negotiations over a new deal were put on hold following Al-Nassr's 3-2 Saudi Pro League loss to Al-Ittihad in midweek, mere days after their AFC Champions League semi-final exit to Kawasaki Frontale. The report states Ronaldo was expecting to sign a two-year extension but these poor results have given the 40-year-old pause for thought.

The report adds that Ronaldo's frustration at the situation has left Al-Nassr pondering their options over a renewal, with a switch to another Saudi side not ruled out.
