Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has clarified Cristiano Ronaldo’s future amid rumors linking him with a potential move to Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen during this summer's transfer window. According to Romano, no such transfer is in the works, and the 39-year-old forward is content at Al Nassr.
Recent speculations had suggested that Ronaldo was eager to reunite with his former Real Madrid teammate Alonso at the Bundesliga club. These rumors gained traction due to the strong relationship between the two former teammates. However, Romano has debunked these claims, firmly stating that Bayer Leverkusen is not pursuing Ronaldo.
Romano emphasized that the Portugal captain has no plans to leave Al Nassr, where he is reportedly very happy. “We have also had some interesting rumors about Ronaldo and Bayer Leverkusen because of his strong relationship with Xabi Alonso. They are good friends, but no – Leverkusen are not working on this deal, no one is working on signing Ronaldo because he is very happy at Al Nassr and is not planning to change,” Romano wrote in his latest Daily Briefing Newsletter.
Ronaldo’s current contract with Al Nassr runs until the summer of 2025, further dispelling any immediate transfer speculations. This contract duration underscores his commitment to the Saudi Arabian club, where he has been a key player since joining.
The rumors of a potential move to Bayer Leverkusen had generated significant buzz, particularly because of the intriguing prospect of Ronaldo linking up with Alonso, now the manager at the Bundesliga club. However, Romano’s clarification puts an end to these speculations, reinforcing that Ronaldo’s future remains firmly with Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s tenure at Al Nassr has been marked by impressive performances and significant contributions to the team. His move to Saudi Arabia was a major coup for the club and the Saudi Pro League, bringing global attention to the league. Ronaldo’s continued presence at Al Nassr is likely to further boost the profile of football in the region.
For Bayer Leverkusen, the focus remains on building a competitive squad under the guidance of Alonso, without the inclusion of Ronaldo. While the idea of signing a player of Ronaldo’s caliber would be tempting for any club, Leverkusen appears to be concentrating on their existing strategies and player development.
Romano’s insights are a reliable source of transfer information, and his dismissal of the Ronaldo-Leverkusen link should put to rest any ongoing rumors. Fans and pundits can now redirect their focus towards Ronaldo’s ongoing journey with Al Nassr and his contributions to the team’s success.
Fabrizio Romano has firmly debunked the rumors linking Cristiano Ronaldo to Bayer Leverkusen, confirming that the 39-year-old forward is happy at Al Nassr and has no plans to leave. The speculations about a reunion with Xabi Alonso at the Bundesliga club have been clarified as unfounded. Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nassr runs until 2025, ensuring his continued presence in Saudi Arabian football and dispelling any immediate transfer concerns.
