More on Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo joined the Saudi side officially at the beginning of January after his time at Manchester United was cut short in controversial fashion, largely of his own making.
He has scored 14 goals in 16 appearances but rumours surrounding an exit have refused to die down, with the latest reports suggesting he may look to pay out of pocket to force a move this summer.
If he does remain at the club however, he will look to guide his team to the Saudi Pro League title next season.
