While the Portuguese superstar remains focused on strengthening the squad after leading the club to the Saudi Pro League title, attention has now shifted toward a proposal that could influence the direction of Al-Nassr's sporting future. Cristiano Ronaldo is pushing for significant changes behind the scenes at Al-Nassr as the club prepares for another important transfer window, with fresh reports suggesting an ambitious strategy is beginning to take shape. While the Portuguese superstar remains focused on strengthening the squad after leading the club to the Saudi Pro League title, attention has now shifted toward a proposal that could influence the direction of Al-Nassr’s sporting future. The latest developments come as Al-Nassr continues planning for the new season following its championship-winning campaign. With Ronaldo determined to keep the club competing at the highest level, the focus is no longer limited to new signings, as discussions are also taking place over how the football operation should be managed moving forward. According to 365Scores Arabic, Ronaldo has asked for Al-Nassr’s management to be granted full authority over transfer business without outside interference. The idea is to create an independent sporting project where recruitment decisions are handled exclusively by the football department. The reported proposal reflects Ronaldo’s desire to see a long-term structure capable of competing consistently for domestic and continental trophies. After spending several years in Saudi Arabia, the veteran forward appears eager to help shape a more stable football environment around the first team. Bruno Fernandes remains a priority target The same reports indicate that Al-Nassr is considering one final approach for Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Before making any formal move, the club is expected to establish the Portugal international’s financial expectations. The plan would represent Ronaldo’s final attempt to convince his longtime Portugal teammate to join him in Riyadh. Fernandes has repeatedly been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, but convincing him to leave European football has proven difficult. Should discussions progress, Al-Nassr would need to assemble a package capable of matching Fernandes’ sporting and financial ambitions. Ronaldo’s influence could once again become a major factor, given the successful partnership the pair have shared with Portugal over recent years. Financial approval clears an important obstacle Meanwhile, Al-Riyadiyah reports that Al-Nassr has received the financial efficiency certificate required to register new players during the current summer transfer window. This represents a significant administrative step as the club prepares to strengthen its squad. Although some restrictions imposed by the Saudi Pro League’s Financial Control Committee remain temporarily in place until final approval is completed, the club is reportedly expecting those limitations to be lifted shortly. Once that happens, Al-Nassr will be free to complete transfer registrations and contract renewals. The certificate also allows the club to move ahead with negotiations already underway, provided the Financial Control Committee gives its final authorization. Financial stability supports transfer ambitions Earlier reports cited by Al-Riyadiyah stated that Al-Nassr has no overdue financial obligations to either the Saudi Ministry of Sports or the Saudi Pro League. The club has also reportedly received all funding available through the government’s club support strategy. In addition, Al-Nassr has been informed about the financial resources available through the league’s player attraction program for the upcoming campaign. Those resources could play an important role as the club attempts to compete for elite international talent. The report adds that how those funds are ultimately used remains a decision for the club’s leadership. They are expected to form part of a broader financial plan designe

The vice-captain role at Manchester United has been the subject of several questions sent in via our 'Ask about Man Utd' form recently. This is a fascinating one, partly because Bruno Fernandes misses so few games, and rarely gets substituted. When he was out for three matches after getting injured at Aston Villa last December, Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez got the job – but there has clearly been a change of manager since then.

ith Cristiano Ronaldo and head coach Roberto Martinez both at the center of attention following the elimination, the result has raised major questions about what comes next, including who will guide Portugal into its next era. Portugal’s 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 marked the end of its campaign, but it also signaled the conclusion of an important chapter for the national team. With Cristiano Ronaldo and head coach Roberto Martinez both at the center of attention following the elimination, the result has raised major questions about what comes next, including who will guide Portugal into its next era. The World Cup exit has already triggered significant change behind the scenes. While Portugal now turns its attention toward rebuilding after another disappointing finish at a major tournament, supporters are waiting to learn who will take over the national team and whether that appointment can unlock the enormous potential of one of soccer’s most talented squads. Moments after the Selecao das Quinas’ elimination, Roberto Martinez officially confirmed that his time in charge had come to an end. The Spaniard revealed that his contract would not be renewed, bringing an end to a spell that ultimately failed to deliver the deep tournament run many had expected. Speaking after the match, Martinez said: “My era is over; now it is important to make a fresh start, and it is legitimate for the president to choose his own coach. I am grateful for all the support I received.” He echoed those sentiments in another statement, saying: “It’s the end of the cycle. It’s important to have a new voice, a new leader.” 🚨🇵🇹 BREAKING: Roberto Martinez LEAVES Portugal head coach job, it’s over. 👋🏼Portuguese Federation to appoint new head coach next. pic.twitter.com/zSdJNzTQ74— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 6, 2026 Who could replace Martinez? With Martinez stepping aside, Jorge Jesus has emerged as the overwhelming favorite to become Portugal’s next head coach. Reports from Italian journalist Nicolo Shira and ESPN Brasil indicate that discussions between the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) and the experienced manager have progressed positively, with negotiations being close to completion. Jesus recently left Al-Nassr, where he worked with Cristiano Ronaldo, making the potential reunion an intriguing storyline. His familiarity with the Portuguese captain and several of the country’s biggest stars could ease the transition during what promises to be a pivotal period. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus According to the reports, the federation had already begun preparing for a coaching change before the World Cup concluded. Martinez was reportedly expected to remain only if Portugal reached at least the semifinals, making the Round of 16 elimination decisive for his future. Why Martinez’s spell came under criticism Despite overseeing one of the most gifted player pools in international soccer, Martinez struggled to translate individual talent into consistent tournament success. Portugal reached only the Euro 2024 quarterfinals before falling in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, results that left many believing the team had underachieved. Critics argued that Portugal lacked tactical clarity during key matches. They pointed to conservative team selections, questionable substitutions, and an inability to fully utilize stars such as Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Pedro Neto, João Cancelo and Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo and Roberto Martinez of Portugal. For Cristiano Ronaldo, Martinez’s departure introduces another major transition at international level. Although the veteran forward’s own World Cup future remains uncertain following the heartbreaking exit, the appointment of a new manager could influence Portugal’s direction as preparations begin for upcoming competitions.
As Portugal prepares for another defining night, many supporters are wondering what is really behind Roberto Martinez's selection and whether it could shape Cristiano Ronaldo's pursuit of World Cup glory. Portugal enters one of the biggest matches of the 2026 World Cup with Rafael Leao beginning on the bench, a decision that has immediately sparked debate ahead of the Round of 16 clash against Spain. As Portugal prepares for another defining night, many supporters are wondering what is really behind Roberto Martinez’s selection and whether it could shape Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of World Cup glory. The Selecao das Quinas’ journey to the knockout rounds has been anything but straightforward. The national team remained unbeaten during the tournament but struggled to consistently find its attacking rhythm, drawing with DR Congo and Colombia before surviving a dramatic 2-1 victory over Croatia thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Goncalo Ramos and a last-second VAR intervention that denied Croatia an equalizer. Spain, meanwhile, has looked every bit like one of the tournament favorites. The European champion has yet to concede a goal, defeating Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, and Austria while only dropping points in a surprising draw against Cape Verde. Luis de la Fuente’s side has impressed with its defensive organization as much as its attacking quality. Spain has now kept clean sheets in nine of its last 10 competitive matches, underlining why many consider La Roja among the strongest contenders for the title.

The Portugal manager has opted to field Joao Felix on the left wing, believing his pace, direct running and ability to exploit open spaces are better suited to facing Spain in a high-intensity knockout encounter. Joao Felix #11 of Portugal reacts Leao remains fully fit and available, but the coaching staff views him as an impact substitute capable of changing the game later if required. Portugal will therefore line up with Pedro Neto, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix supporting Cristiano Ronaldo, while the Milan star waits for an opportunity from the bench. Martinez places faith in pace over creativity Leaving Leao out of the starting XI is unlikely to diminish his importance within Portugal’s squad. Martinez’s decision reflects the specific demands of facing Spain rather than any loss of confidence in the forward’s abilities. Rafael Leao #17 of Portugal celebrates with teammate Nelson Semedo #2 after scoring. The 27-year-old remains one of Portugal’s most technically gifted attackers and could become a decisive figure if introduced during the second half. With knockout soccer often decided by substitutions, he may yet have an opportunity to influence one of the tournament’s biggest matches.
Spain and Portugal face off in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. As two of the tournament's top title contenders, the match is expected to be highly competitive. Because of this, fans will be closely watching the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal heading into the game. Spain and Portugal face each other in one of the most competitive clashes of the 2026 World Cup. On one hand, Luis de la Fuente’s team arrive established as one of the most attack-minded sides. On the other hand, Roberto Martínez’s team have proven to be highly efficient in front of goal, making it clear that this will be a closely contested match. As a result, fans are closely monitoring the status of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal, as both could prove decisive. Cristiano Ronaldo will start for Portugal, as he has no injuries or suspensions. After scoring against Croatia, the veteran striker will be looking to extend his goalscoring streak amid the constant criticism. In addition, head coach Roberto Martínez has decided to keep him as an undisputed starter, hoping he can make the difference in front of goal against a top contender as Spain. Lamine Yamal will also start for Spain, as he has no injuries or suspensions. As one of the team’s best players, head coach Luis de la Fuente considers him a cornerstone of the squad. Although he has not stood out in front of goal, he remains one of the team’s most creative players, creating space and distributing the ball. With this being the knockout stage, he is expected to be especially motivated. While Luis de la Fuente’s team arrive imposing their high press and dominating possession, Roberto Martínez’s team have disappointed many, as they rely on counterattacks and have struggled in recent matches. However, both Spain and Portugal could look to dominate the ball, meaning individual quality will be crucial to create space and find the back of the net in the Round of 16. Mikel Oyarzabal #21 of Spain celebrates with teammate Lamine Yamal #19 after scoring. Portugal confirmed lineup vs Spain Portugal have remained highly competitive throughout the 2026 World Cup. Head coach Roberto Martínez has yet to get the best out of his roster, but the individual quality of his star players has made the difference. Because of this, he may decide not to make huge changes to his starting lineup, sticking with his current approach while looking to boost Cristiano Ronaldo’s goalscoring output, as he remains the team’s biggest star. Considering this, Portugal will play as follows: Diogo Costa; João Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha; Pedro Neto, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix; Cristiano Ronaldo. Spain confirmed lineup vs Portugal Unlike in previous matches, Spain have managed to recover their entire roster, with Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino both reportedly available. Despite this, head coach Luis de la Fuente has decided not to make any changes to his lineup, keeping Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal as the focal points of his team. However, Pedri and Rodri will be key to pressing Portugal and pinning them back inside their own penalty area. With this in mind, Spain will lineup as follows: Unai Simon; Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsi, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Alex Baena; Mikel Oyarzabal.
