Al Nassr legend Fahad Al-Bishi has urged Cristiano Ronaldo to step away from football and call time on his career, saying it’s time for the Portuguese star to protect the legacy he’s built. Al-Bishi criticized Ronaldo for prioritizing personal achievements over the club’s success, claiming the forward has cost Al Nassr valuable points by missing key chances in crucial games.

In a chat with Koora, Al-Bishi said, “Ronaldo seems more focused on his stats than the team. He’s broken records, no doubt, but he’s also let the team down in big moments. I respect everything he’s achieved, but it may be time to retire.” He added that Ronaldo’s recent body language, especially his visible frustration toward teammates, was disappointing. According to him, the 39-year-old no longer has the physical edge to match the demands he places on himself.

Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2022 following his exit from Manchester United but has yet to win a major trophy with the Saudi club, aside from the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023.

Victor Boniface has opened up about how a big-money move from Bayer Leverkusen to Al Nassr fell apart at the very last minute. The Nigerian striker had everything in place, he had agreed personal terms with the Saudi club, passed his medical, and was looking forward to playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

The deal, which would have earned him around €45 million over three years, seemed all but done. But despite Bayer Leverkusen and Al Nassr reaching an agreement, the Saudi club made a sudden switch in plans and chose to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead.

Speaking on The Culture League podcast, Boniface shared just how close he came to leaving, “I was ready. Bags packed. I live in Cologne, and we had already driven to Frankfurt,” he said.

He admitted the money involved was massive and revealed he had already given away many of his designer clothes and shoes to friends back home. “The flight was ready. I was in my hotel room praying for it to happen… but it just didn’t go through in the end.”

Alvaro Morata is now on his way to Como, with his move finally set in motion after Galatasaray reached a full agreement to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Morata’s transfer had been stalled for several weeks due to Galatasaray’s long negotiations over Osimhen’s deal. But things moved quickly over the weekend as the Turkish side finalized the key details to bring in the Nigerian forward on a permanent basis.

Fabrizio Romano shared an update confirming that Morata will join Como once the Osimhen paperwork is fully completed. He noted that Morata has been waiting patiently for about a month for this switch to happen. Como and Morata had already settled personal terms, so the only thing left was Galatasaray’s clearance. With that now out of the way, the Spanish striker is set to make his return to Italy’s Serie A.

The contract also includes an option to buy him for €30 million by June 2026.

Reacting to the news during a chat with popular streamer IShowSpeed, Pogba said, “That’s crazy. I’m happy for him. United is losing a great player, that’s great for Barcelona.”
