CRISTIANO RONALDO could be DENIED a move to Al Nassr with the Saudi Pro League side reportedly plotting a move for Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino instead.
Ronaldo , 37, became a free agent last month after his Manchester United contract was terminated.

Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a move to Al Nassr since his Old Trafford contract was ripped up.
However, the Saudi side now have their sights set on another Premier League attacker.
According to The Mirror , Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has emerged as a top target for Rudi Garcia and his management team.
Firmino’s Liverpool contract expires in June, so he will be free to negotiate a pre-contract with any foreign club from next month.
Al Nassr are understood to be keen to offer the Brazilian a lucrative deal in a bid to tempt him to Riyadh.
And club chiefs hope that an agreement will be reached, especially as Firmino is no longer a regular name on Jurgen Klopp’s team sheet.
The forward has scored nine goals in 21 appearances for Liverpool so far this season.
But, his form could not warrant a place in Brazil’s squad for this year’s World Cup.
