Cristiano Ronaldo has finally completed his one season with Al Nassr. The player joined them in the middle, but endured a rollercoaster journey. A lot was expected from his big-money move to the Gulf state, but it didn’t turn out exactly as expected. His arrival helped the league enormously but didn’t bring much success for the club that bought him.
He may be looking to reflect on his first season with the Middle Eastern side, which ended without any silverware. This is bad news, but the club’s recent announcement may bring joy among his homeland’s supporters, as he is set to bring his compatriots to Portugal.

With the season coming to an end, soccer players will be looking to make plans for their summer vacations. However, Al Nassr recently announced great news for Ronaldo’s homeland supporters. The Saudi Arabian side is set to organize a summer camp in Portugal as a part of their pre-season preparations.
The camp will begin on July 3 as the whole team will come to the European country. This will be the first time Al Nassr will be coming to Portugal since they acquired the 38-year-old in 2022. Indeed, it is great news for both CR7 and the people of his country, who’ll be eager to see him back.
