Greenwood Emerges as CR7’s Top Pick to Lead Al-Nassr

Determined to turn Al-Nassr into a championship-caliber team, Cristiano Ronaldo is taking an active role in building the squad. His latest recommendation is Mason Greenwood, the English forward currently playing for Olympique de Marseille, and a former teammate of Ronaldo at Manchester United.

At 23 years old, Greenwood had a standout 2024–25 campaign in Ligue 1, netting 21 goals and providing six assists to help the French club secure a spot in next season’s Champions League. His resurgence was fueled by a productive loan spell at Getafe the previous year, where he regained form and consistent minutes.

Cristiano’s Influence Could Seal the Deal

Al-Nassr has already made major moves in the transfer market, signing players like João Félix and bringing in local talents Al Jaber and Al Sharari. However, the team still seeks a marquee name in attack, and Cristiano Ronaldo believes Greenwood could be the missing piece.

Last summer, Greenwood turned down interest from Saudi clubs in favor of continuing his development in Europe. This time, with a more compelling project and the personal backing of Ronaldo, the decision could go another way. Meanwhile, Inter Milan has reportedly entered the race, adding pressure on Al-Nassr to act swiftly.

Greenwood Faces Crucial Career Choice

Backed by Cristiano Ronaldo and with a lucrative offer from Al-Nassr on the table, Mason Greenwood is now weighing his next move: remain in the European spotlight or join an ambitious project in Saudi Arabia. His future is expected to be decided in the coming days, and he is undoubtedly one of the hottest names in the current transfer window.

As Al-Nassr continues to revamp its roster, the club’s ambition is clear: challenge Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli for dominance in the ever-growing Saudi Pro League.
