By Cristiano Ronaldo’s personal request! The Portuguese legend has reportedly insisted that Al-Nassr’s management secure the signing of a Barcelona player as a crucial condition for him to agree to extend his stay with the Saudi club!

Spanish media outlets have reported that Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr is showing strong interest in signing a well-regarded international defender from Barcelona, a player considered one of the top performers in his position.

This player, who is currently 29 years old, has a contract with the Catalan giants that runs until the summer of 2026. It is believed that Cristiano Ronaldo, the star forward of Al-Nassr, personally recommended the defender to his club’s management, prompting them to open negotiations with him.

According to a report by the Spanish newspaper Sport, Barcelona’s management has yet to present a contract renewal offer to the player, despite new manager Hansi Flick reportedly holding him in high regard. This situation has opened the door for Al-Nassr to make their move.

The newspaper detailed that Al-Nassr has presented the Danish defender with an enticing offer that would significantly increase his current salary, possibly even doubling his annual earnings if he agrees to join the Saudi club.

The report also revealed that representatives from Al-Nassr traveled to Barcelona approximately six weeks ago, intending to monitor the availability and status of several players within the club’s squad, with particular attention given to their defensive options. During this visit, Christensen emerged as one of their primary targets.

Although the defender has not yet made his intentions publicly clear regarding a possible move away from Barcelona, the club’s current circumstances could make them receptive to potential offers.

With no active contract renewal discussions underway and competition for places within the squad, Barcelona might be willing to consider negotiating his departure if a suitable proposal is tabled.

Adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future, the Danish international endured a challenging season last year, making just six appearances across all competitions for Barcelona. He did not register any goals or assists during this period, further casting doubt over his role in the club’s plans moving forward.

As things stand, while Al-Nassr’s interest appears serious and backed by a lucrative offer, the final decision rests with the defender and Barcelona’s management. If negotiations progress and both parties find the terms agreeable, the player could become the latest European star to make the switch to the Saudi Pro League.
