AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has refused to rule out a potential takeover of Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, stating he is "intrigued" by the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo at the Riyadh-based side.
Speaking on Friday, the RedBird Capital founder indicated that the possibility of investing in the Saudi club remains open, citing the global appeal of the Portuguese superstar as a factor of interest.
Cardinale's comments come amid growing investment from Saudi Arabia in European football, with the Public Investment Fund already owning Newcastle United and several top players moving to the Saudi league.
Al Nassr, who signed Ronaldo in December 2022, have become one of the most followed clubs in the region, and any involvement from a major European owner would represent a significant cross-continental partnership.
