However, to date there is no official confirmation of an attack on the U.S. embassy in the Saudi capital or an evacuation of the player for security reasons.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains under contract with Al Nassr, the club he joined at the end of 2022 and with which he has continued to compete in the Saudi Pro League.
