Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his return to Al Nassr after reports suggested he could leave Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese star posted a photo on social media showing himself with two hearts in the club's colours, dismissing rumours of a possible departure.
Speculation spread after Ronaldo's dissatisfaction with his rival's moves Al H'Ilal, who transferred Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad, a move that according to the Portuguese upsets the balance of the championship.
Ronaldo remains one of the leading scorers in the Saudi Professional League, with 17 goals in 18 matches, and his main goal remains to reach the historic figure of 1000 career goals.
Saudi Professional League stars and officials expect Ronaldo to return to action this week after missing Al Nassr's 1-0 win over Al Riyadh. He is expected to play against Al Ittihad on Friday after expressing his stance and resolving the situation.
The Portuguese, who turns 41 on Thursday, was the subject of speculation that he could return to Portugal before his birthday, but now appears focused on club duties.Express newspaper
