Cristiano Ronaldo tipped to join rival in incredible transfer that would see him replace £130m-a-year flop
CRISTIANO RONALDO has been linked with a remarkable transfer - to another Saudi Pro League side.
The 39-year-old joined Al-Nassr in 2022 following a blockbuster move from Manchester United.
Ronaldo has gone on to net over 50 times for the club, winning the league's Golden Boot last season.
But the Portuguese superstar - who believes he can keep playing for "two to three more years" - could soon be subject to a shock move.
According to , via Spanish outlet SPORT, Al Hilal are hoping to make an audacious swoop for Ronaldo.
The team are reportedly "dreaming" of bringing CR7 in as a potential replacement for Neymar.

The Brazilian forward has suffered a dismal time since arriving at Al Hilal in August 2023 for £78million.
Neymar suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury while on international duty last year, resulting in him missing most of this season.
Reports suggest he is now at risk of having his £130million contract ripped up.
Ronaldo's own deal with Al-Nassr runs out in 2025, resulting in Al Hilal eyeing up a possible free transfer.

Despite having Neymar missing for much of the past year, Al Hilal have dominated the SPL.
They won the title last year - finishing 14 points ahead of Ronaldo's Al-Nassr - and are currently a point clear at the top.
Ronaldo has previously hinted he is likely to end his career in Saudi.
He won the Arab Club Champions Cup back in 2023 but has otherwise failed to win silverware at Al Nassr.
Ronaldo said earlier this year: "I don't know if I'll finish soon or in two or three years.
"But, possibly, it will be at Al Nassr. It's the team where I'm happy, where I'm good, where I feel good, both in the country and in the league.
"That's why, most likely I can finish my career at Al Nassr.
"I'm very happy to play in the Arab League and I want to continue."
