Cristiano Ronaldo: Exit imminent for Al Nassr star amid tensions with 5-time ballon d’Or winner

Recent reports have unveiled growing tensions between two of Al Nassr’s highest-paid players, Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Their reported feud could potentially signal a major change for the Senegalese star, who is considering an exit from the Saudi league giants.

According to French sports outlet "Foot Mercato," the relationship between Mane and Ronaldo has soured recently, with disagreements becoming increasingly public.

According to the outlet, Mane and Ronaldo’s issues reportedly stems from on and off-field issues, leading to the Senegalese star's discontent as he now seeks a departure from the club.

Ronaldo was recently furious at Mane and his teammates following their 4-1 humiliation by Al Hilal in the final of the Saudi Super Cup on Saturday.

Ronaldo gave Al Nassr a halftime 1-0 lead before watching his side absolutely collapse in the second period of the encounter.

Despite the growing friction, Mane has yet to receive a formal offer from other clubs, though Al-Nassr management has reportedly explored options for his transfer.

Clubs such as Al-Ittihad have been mentioned as potential destinations for the former Liverpool star.

Mane's move to Al-Nassr in the summer of 2023, after leaving Bayern Munich, was initially seen as a major coup for the Saudi Pro League team.

However, with his current contract extending until the summer of 2026, any departure would likely involve complex negotiations, due to his hefty wages.
