According to reports from the Spanish media, Cristiano Ronaldo has set a key condition for renewing his contract with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr — the club must secure the signing of a top Barcelona defender.
The player in question is 29-year-old Danish international **Andreas Christensen**, widely regarded as one of the most reliable defenders in Europe. His contract with Barcelona runs until the summer of 2026. However, despite manager Hansi Flick’s admiration for the center-back, Barcelona’s board has yet to initiate talks over a contract extension.
Spanish outlet *Sport* revealed that Ronaldo personally requested Christensen’s signing, prompting Al-Nassr to begin formal negotiations. The club is reportedly offering a lucrative deal that could double the defender’s current wages.
Al-Nassr officials reportedly visited Barcelona six weeks ago to evaluate potential signings, particularly focusing on strengthening their defensive line. Christensen has not yet indicated a firm desire to leave, but given his limited involvement last season — just six appearances without a goal or assist — Barcelona may be willing to listen to offers.
This bold move signals Al-Nassr’s intent to keep Ronaldo satisfied and strengthen their squad with elite European talent.
