Ronaldo Says He Stayed at Al Nassr to Rest and Get Ready for World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo has finally explained why he’s staying put at Al Nassr. He said his main focus is to stay in top shape for next year’s FIFA World Cup and to be ready for the new season with his club. Ronaldo revealed that he got offers to play at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup but turned them down. According to him, the best decision was to get enough rest and prepare properly for what lies ahead.
Speaking after extending his contract with Al Nassr until 2027, Ronaldo explained, “I had some offers to play the Club World Cup but I felt it didn’t make sense. I’d rather rest well and prepare because the coming season is going to be long and we have the World Cup at the end of it.”
He added that staying at Al Nassr wasn’t just about comfort but because he believes in the club’s project and wants to be ready for both his team and his country.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
