Cristiano Ronaldo tipped to buy 20% of Al-Nassr, which has €184 million in debt

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which controls Al-Nassr, is negotiating the sale of a majority stake to US investment firm RedBird Capital Partners, according to Bloomberg. RedBird is reportedly considering buying 70% of the club for about $267 million, while Cristiano Ronaldo could acquire up to 20%. Before a deal, the PIF is seeking to clear Al-Nassr’s debts, estimated at 800 million riyals, or about €184 million, partly through new sponsorship contracts. Talks remain at an early stage, and reports of Ronaldo taking a stake in the club in 2025 were never officially confirmed.

Governance will suffer if Tinubu campaigns nationwide, says former Obidient chief

Marcel Ngogbehei, director-general of the Tinubu Movement for Sustainable Governance and former coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said governance could suffer if Bola Tinubu personally campaigned in all 36 states ahead of the 2027 elections. At a media parley in Abuja, he said the president was delegating campaign activities to trusted associates so he could focus on governing, while remaining available to attend some events. Ngogbehei also challenged critics of petrol subsidy removal to debate the policy publicly and suggest alternatives suited to Nigeria’s economic realities.
