Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo has set a clear roadmap to ensure the continuation of Al Nassr's project, with its most prominent feature being full control over the transfer file.

Press reports revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to impose his conditions on the management of "Al-Alami", starting with granting the sports department led by the duo Simo and Semedo full independence and absolute powers in the contracts file, away from any administrative interference that could hinder team building for the upcoming season.

Full independence for Simo and Semedo

The Portuguese national team captain insisted on no administrative interference in the work of Simo, the sports director, and Semedo, the executive director, with the idea being to ensure full independence in selecting players and building a team capable of competing locally and continentally.

This demand is linked to the summer transfer strategy, as Ronaldo wants all decisions regarding player arrivals and departures to be made according to clear technical criteria, away from any internal obstacles, to preserve the club's ambitions for the next season.

Al Nassr moves to sign Bruno Fernandes

In the same context, a strong proposal emerged within Al Nassr's management to initiate official contact with Bruno Fernandes to learn his financial demands as a preliminary step before entering potential negotiations to sign the Manchester United midfielder.

Cristiano is making intensive efforts to convince his compatriot of the Saudi league project, in an attempt to exploit the stalling of his contract renewal negotiations with Manchester United and attract him during the current summer transfer window.

If the deal succeeds, Al Nassr will seek to strengthen its attacking options and add a creative dimension in playmaking alongside Ronaldo.
