Al Nassr sporting director Fernando Hierro has publicly assured that the Saudi club is still negotiating a new contract with Cristiano Ronaldo, days after a cryptic message from the Portuguese.

Al Nassr want to keep Cristiano Ronaldo beyond the season that has just ended. This is what Fernando Hierro, the Saudi club's sporting director, said in his most recent words.

"We have to start from the beginning with Cristiano," said Hierro, knowing that the Portuguese player's contract with the Saudi club expires on 30 June and no agreement has been reached so far.

It comes after the Portuguese posted an enigmatic message on his social networks about his future, and that clubs in both Brazil and Mexico want to count on him for the Club World Cup, which is two weeks away.

"Cristiano is with his national team right now. He has a contract until 30 June and we will continue to work to renew him, hopefully all parties will understand each other. The people at the top are doing a great job to keep him with us. We are still in talks," explained Hierro about the player's future.
