Cristiano Ronaldo could transition from being the main figure of Al Nassr on the pitch to being one of the owners of the Saudi club. The Portuguese international is part of a consortium of five investors preparing to present a bid to acquire the Riyadh club to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).

According to the sports newspaper 'A Bola', which reported on Tuesday the Madeiran player's intention, in addition to Ronaldo, the group includes Gerry Cardinale, CEO of RedBird Capital Partners.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is currently the main shareholder of Al Nassr, through the sports holding company Saudi Pro League. The consortium led by Ronaldo therefore intends to acquire part or all of the club.

This news comes at a time when Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be the main face of Al Nassr on the pitch, being one of the most high-profile figures in the Saudi professional league.
