Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave Al-Nassr, and could seek a return to Europe after struggling to adapt to life with the Saudi Arabian club.
The Portuguese superstar shocked the world by signing for Al-Nassr at the end of December, having seen his contract at Manchester United terminated the previous month.
Ronaldo’s two-year deal at Mrsool Park is reportedly worth $215m, which makes him the highest-paid player in the game, but Mundo Deportivo suggests that he has not settled in the Middle East.
The Spanish newspaper claims that Ronaldo is already eager to secure a transfer away from Al-Nassr, having been unimpressed with the infrastructure in Saudi Arabia – which he feels is “very far from modern society”.
The 38-year-old will now explore a potential return to Europe, but is also open to alternative options.

Ronaldo has scored 13 goals in his first 17 appearances for Al-Nassr, but they have slipped from the top of the Saudi Pro League table since his arrival, while also exiting the King Cup of Champions.
The veteran striker has also made headlines for frequent displays of petulance after bad results, and reportedly fell out with head coach Rudi Garcia before his sacking.
