The deal, worth a reported £28 million, would see the five-time Ballon d’Or winner leave Juventus after just two seasons in Turin.The announcement sent shockwaves through the football world, with many left wondering what had led to Ronaldo’s unexpected departure from one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

It is no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo's time at Al-Nassr has not been going well. The Portuguese star has been heavily criticized for his performances and has even been involved in a training ground bust-up with teammate Craig Goodwin .Now, another one of Ronaldo's teammates has added fuel to the fire by confirming that there is indeed a problem within the squad. In an interview with Sport24, striker Abderrazak Hamdallah said:

"There is a problem with Cristiano, that much is clear. I don't know what it is exactly, but something is not right. He doesn't seem happy on the pitch and that affects the whole team."

It remains to be seen if Ronaldo will be able to turn things around at Al-Nassr, but it seems clear that he has some work to do if he wants to win over his teammates.

Impact of the U-Turn on Ronaldo’s Career

In 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo took the world by surprise when he left European giants Juventus to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. It was a move that many saw as the end of Ronaldo’s storied career. However, after just one season in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has made a U-turn and returned to Juventus on a two-year deal. So what caused this change of heart?

There are a few factors that likely played a role in Ronaldo’s decision to return to Juventus. Firstly, it is no secret that Ronaldo is a competitive player and he would have been eager to prove doubters wrong by having a successful season in Saudi Arabia. However, things did not go according to plan for Ronaldo and Al-Nassr. The team struggled throughout the season and failed to make it past the group stage of the Asian Champions League. This would have been a huge disappointment for Ronaldo who is used to winning trophies.

Secondly, it is also worth noting that Saudi Arabia is not an easy place to live for foreigners. The country has strict laws and there is a lot of cultural adjust that needs to be made. For someone like Ronaldo who is used to living in luxury and comfort, it is likely that he found it difficult to adjust to life in Saudi Arabia.
