Cristiano Ronaldo drops hint over future after Club World Cup transfer speculation
The 40-year-old's future has been up in the air with his contract at the Saudi Arabian club due to come to an end on June 30.

He joined the club in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United and has been instrumental in elevating the league's credibility.
However, a cryptic social media post suggested that the five-time Ballon d'Or was ready to part ways with the club.
Following a 3-2 defeat to Al-Fateh in their final game of the season, which saw Al-Nassr finish third in the league, Ronaldo took to X to say: "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all."
But now, Ronaldo has backtracked on his earlier statement and seemingly vowed to remain at his current employers.
After Portugal's Nations League final victory over Spain last night, which saw Roberto Martinez's side emerge victorious on penalties, the striker has suggested that his future lies with Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo extended his goalscoring record against Spain, claiming his 138th international goal in the 61st minute to put Portugal on terms.
He was subbed off in the 88th minute and was not involved in the subsequent penalty shootout.

He was seen in tears when Ruben Neves scored the winning spot kick as Portugal reigned supreme over their Spanish neighbours, becoming the first team to become two-time winners.
After Al-Nassr failed to qualify for the Club World Cup, Fifa president Gianni Infantino proposed the idea of Ronaldo joining a team still involved in the competition.
However, it appears Ronaldo has turned various participating teams down, with Argentinian giants River Plate among those who reportedly sent proposals his way.
"Some teams reached out to me,' Ronaldo added. 'Some made sense and others did not, but you can't try and do everything. You can't catch every ball."

Latest Real Madrid move directs Rodrygo towards Liverpool
Ibrahima Konate's contract situation is causing trouble for Liverpool. The France defender is out of contract in 2026 and right now it's not likely that he signs a new deal. The latest reports indicate that Konate, 26, has REJECTED the club's attempts to tie him down to a new deal. It means that sporting director Richard Hughes will soon have a decision to make over the centre-back. Advertisement Either Liverpool LOSE Konate for nothing when his contract expires or else they sell him this summer when they can still earn some money back. Konate cost £35m from RB Leipzig back in 2021 and it's fair to say it's taken him a while to become Virgil van Dijk's preferred centre-back partner. Real Madrid ready to sell Rodrygo But now the player is said to have Real Madrid in his sights - potentially following the template set by Trent Alexander-Arnold. If Madrid are to be Konate's preferred destination then Liverpool may well have the opportunity to bring a transfer target of their own into play. Rodrygo, 24, has been mentioned in recent reports as a potential player that Liverpool would be interested in signing. Advertisement They would face competition from both Arsenal and Manchester City for the Brazilian - who is keen on a move to the Emirates if he does end up leaving Madrid this summer. It's been suggested in a report in Spain however that Madrid are ready to offer Rodrygo to Liverpool in an attempt to strike a deal for Konate. Real Madrid to offer Rodrygo for Konate 'Real Madrid have set their sights on Konaté and want to try to sign him this transfer window following the poor performances of Asencio and Rüdiger at the Club World Cup,' a report in Sport reads. 'With the Brazilian in the mix, they could use him as a bargaining chip to land the center-back, who has one year left on his contract.' Advertisement Liverpool have had their eyes on Rodrygo for a long time now - losing out on the two-time Champions League winner back in 2019 when he chose Real instead. © IMAGO No Rodrygo deal until Diaz is sold Rodrygo now looks certain to be squeezed out of the club following Xabi Alonso's arrival. The new coach will have to satisfy Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Arda Guler, Endrick and new striking sensation Gonzalo Garcia. All that competition means Rodrygo could be sacrificed. Under contract until 2029, Madrid are expected to seek €100m for the Brazil international. But adding Konate to the mix could bring down the cost significantly. Advertisement The report adds that no move for Rodrygo will be made until Luis Diaz's future is sorted out. He is attracting attention from Bayern Munich and Barcelona - but any interested club will have to match Liverpool's €80m valuation.
