Despite not securing any official silverware with Al Nassr, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> has made a significant impact since his move to Saudi Arabia. The former Real Madrid forward continues to shine on the field, but with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation surrounding his next move has grown. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now provided clarity on the situation.



There were earlier rumors linking Ronaldo with a move to Al Hilal, potentially as a replacement for Neymar, who is unlikely to feature for the team next season. However, Romano has clarified that Ronaldo is currently focused on extending his stay with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr">Al Nassr</a>.



“There’s something to clarify on Cristiano Ronaldo, who is out of contract at the end of the season with Al Nassr,” Romano explained in a video on his YouTube channel. “My understanding is that he’s still speaking with Al Nassr to extend his contract. The conversation is ongoing. The reports of Ronaldo joining Al Hilal – the most successful Saudi Pro League side – are not true.”



“The full focus for Cristiano is the Al Nassr project,” he continued. “Of course, there needs to be new players to reinforce the squad – this has to be part of the plan for them in 2025 – and this is the case. Links to Fenerbahce are being played down by Jose Mourinho, but that’s the reality. They’ve never made contact with Cristiano Ronaldo.”

<h2>Mourinho denies Ronaldo to Fenerbahce rumors</h2>



Turkish club Fenerbahce, managed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jose-mourinho">Jose Mourinho</a>, was another rumored destination for Ronaldo. Mourinho, who coached the Portuguese star during their time at Real Madrid, has firmly dismissed these reports.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/sporting-cp-honor-cristiano-ronaldos-ballon-dor-success-with-special-tribute-jersey"></div>


“Cristiano Ronaldo will not be joining Fenerbahce,” Mourinho stated, according to Fabrizio Romano. “I have three excellent attackers, and I don’t need another one. Cristiano will always be Cristiano, but I don’t want him because I am satisfied with my forwards.”



<h2>Cristiano Ronaldo’s huge impact in Saudi Arabia</h2>



Ronaldo joined Al Nassr as a free agent following his departure from Manchester United on December 31, 2022. Since arriving in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese legend has scored 74 goals and provided 18 assists in 83 appearances for the club.



Although no trophies have come his way with Al Nassr, Ronaldo has enjoyed an impressive 2024, playing 51 matches (39 for Al Nassr and 12 for the Portugal national team). Across those games, he netted 43 goals and registered eight assists, showcasing his enduring prowess at the highest level.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/guillermo-ochoa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guillermo Ochoa</a> has not had a great season both with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexico</a> and with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/salernitana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Salernitana</a>, which has led fans to criticize him. However, there are some people who think he’s a legend, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fabrizio-romano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fabrizio Romano</a> is one of those.



In Mexican soccer, Ochoa is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history. He has had a remarkable career, largely due to his outstanding performances in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FIFA World Cup</a>.



However, some fans hold the belief that he’s not performing well. Recently, he has faced challenges in maintaining the same level of dominance seen earlier in his career, drawing huge criticism from analysts and fans for his performances.



<h2>Fabrizio Romano defends Guillermo Ochoa on social media after a fan’s criticism</h2>



Guillermo Ochoa is undoubtedly experiencing a toughphase in his career. The goalkeeper has conceded 42 goals this season with Salernitana and appears destined for relegation once again in Europe.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230913#BUS#62153"></div>


Salernitana currently sits at the bottom of Serie A with 14 points, consisting of two wins, eight draws, and 19 losses. If this trend persists, Ochoa would face relegation for the third time in his European career.



Following his poor form, the goalkeeper has decided to depart from Salernitana at the end of the season. Fabrizio Romano initially reported the news on X, prompting numerous fans to respond to his post with judgments of Ochoa.



On X, a fan quoted Romano’s post, saying that Ochoa was not a legend. “You don’t even have the courage to put your face and name on Twitter,” Romano answered. “Imagine playing in five World Cups from 2006 to 2022… and you talk about legendary, you.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="647" height="1024" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240326_BUS_114549_40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4-647x1024_1feaecc6.webp&amp;width=647&amp;height=1024" alt="Fabrizio Romano defending Guillermo Ochoa on X" class="wp-image-114570" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4-647x1024.jpeg 647w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4-190x300.jpeg 190w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4-768x1215.jpeg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4-971x1536.jpeg 971w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/40c3a119-5fc4-4b80-bebf-82976eafc1d4.jpeg 1011w" sizes="(max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px"></figure><figcaption>Fabrizio Romano defending Guillermo Ochoa on X</figcaption></figure>



Some fans may or may not like Ochoa, but he’s undoubtedly a living legend for Mexico. It has been reported that he wants to continue playing in Europe, but he might consider another return to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liga-mx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liga MX</a> to maintain consistency for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.



<h2>What is Guillermo Ochoa’s current market value?</h2>



Guillermo Ochoa’s market value peaked in 2014 after the World Cup, reaching $8.5 million. He joined Malaga that summer, but his value has declined since then, and it appears unlikely to reach that number again.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/usmnt-vs-mexico-produces-fist-fight-in-stands"></div>


Currently, Ochoa’s value is at $1.7 million. If he returns to Liga MX, it is highly unlikely that any team would pay that amount for him, especially considering the goalkeeper will turn 39 years old this summer.
