The Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, of the Saudi club Al-Nassr, has decided to postpone the matter of extending his contract, which ends at the end of the current season, until he knows the status of his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo with the team.

Ronaldo refused to participate with Al-Nassr in the last two matches of the Saudi Professional League against Al-Riyadh and Al-Ittihad, in protest against the team not receiving sufficient support from the Public Investment Fund compared to Al-Hilal during the last winter transfer period.

According to the Saudi newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah," Jesus will not begin negotiations to extend his contract until Ronaldo's future is settled. He emphasized that he does not prefer to continue under the current circumstances and the failure to meet his technical demands, including his request for two signings since last January, which have not been fulfilled.

Reports indicate that Cristiano Ronaldo is considering leaving Al-Nassr next summer, which closely ties the future of the Portuguese coach to the fate of the global star within the team.
