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 to Football Italia on October 30, 2026, the RedBird Capital founder indicated openness to expanding his football portfolio into the Saudi market, where Al Nassr have become a global focal point following Ronaldo's arrival in January 2023.
Cardinale's comments mark the first public indication of interest from a major European club owner in acquiring a stake in a Saudi Pro League team, as the league continues to attract high-profile investment and player talent.
