Since the 39-year-old's arrival, several big names, including Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, and Neymar, have joined the Saudi league, per Skysports.
However, Neymar’s time at Al Hilal has been marred by injuries, limiting his appearances to just seven games.
Now, the club appears ready to part ways with the Brazilian forward as early as January.
Ronaldo involved in blockbuster swap deal
According to Action Ma3 Waleed, via Spanish outlet SPORT, Al Hilal are reportedly open to releasing Neymar and has set its sights on acquiring Ronaldo to fill the gap.
While both Neymar and Ronaldo are contracted until 2025, Al Hilal could look to negotiate a deal for the Portuguese icon ahead of his contract’s end, either through a swap or a free transfer when he becomes available.
Ronaldo has enjoyed tremendous success with Al Nassr, and a potential move to Al Hilal would be a sensational development in the Saudi Pro League.
