21 February 2026
Overview
Will Ronaldo leave Al-Nassr?
President Trump praised Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, in a video posted on TikTok.
Trump's video caption read: 'A message from greatest to the other great one,' and Ronaldo was told: 'You are great, we need you in America—go now, we need you fast'.
Some framed the message as an invitation for Ronaldo to join Major League Soccer, while others suggested it could hint at his 2026 World Cup participation.
Trump also shared the message with an AI-generated clip showing Ronaldo and Trump playing football in the White House.
Ronaldo continues his career with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League since joining in 2023, while neither the player nor the club has issued an official comment about Trump's invitation, and the video has sparked online reaction.
Fans on social media debated whether Ronaldo would move or simply add another dazzling chapter to a famous career.
Only time will tell what happens next.
Humor
Punchline 1: Ronaldo to the US? Expect a lot of selfies, not a playbook.
Punchline 2: If football is life, Trump's adventures just made it extra entertaining.
