England star targets Cristiano Ronaldo revenge after ‘disappointing’ Golden Boot defeat - with Ivan Toney hoping to see CR7 remain in Saudi Pro League

<p>Questions are being asked of whether five-time Ballon d’Or winner CR7 will take on a new challenge this summer. His record-breaking contract at Al-Nassr continues to run down, with free agency now beckoning.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At 40 years of age, Ronaldo has continued to maintain remarkable individual standards in the Middle East. While collective honours have been hard to come by, he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-second-successive-saudi-pro-league-golden-boot-ahead-ivan-toney-al-nassr-superstar-consolation-prize-title-failure/blt0b2b73f0317cf384" target="_blank">hit another 25 league goals in 2024-25 to claim a second top scorer prize</a> in Saudi Arabia.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RoshnSaudiLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RoshnSaudiLeague</a> top scorer for 2 seasons in a row: <a href="https://twitter.com/Cristiano?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cristiano</a>  🐐 <a href="https://t.co/JEUlAGBn8R">pic.twitter.com/JEUlAGBn8R</a></p>— Roshn Saudi League (@SPL_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/SPL_EN/status/1927135566027493392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 26, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ex-Brentford striker Toney managed 23 for Al-Ahli, as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bruno-fernandes-saudi-pro-league-message-england-snubbing-al-hilal-transfer/blt228ea3b30b5b58b9" target="_blank">savoured AFC Champions League glory</a>, and would like a second shot at Ronaldo next season after securing himself a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-squad-ivan-toney-recalled-trent-alexander-arnold-cole-palmer-jordan-henderson-marcus-rashford/blt5af57da976974338" target="_blank">return to the England fold</a> under new Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Toney has told <a href="https://talksport.com/football/3263492/ivan-toney-bruno-fernandes-man-united-saudi-transfer-mbeumo/ " target="_blank"><em>talkSPORT</em></a> of missing out on a Golden Boot: "It's disappointing not to beat Ronaldo, but hopefully next season. I always think positive. Because if you think negative, then the negative things are going to happen.</p><p>"If you're playing well, if you're scoring, there's only one decision. The manager's [Tuchel] seen that hence why he's brought me back. I'm a player that plays in Saudi. If that's a problem to people, then so be it, but I'm a Saudi player now and I just have to focus on playing football."</p>

WHAT IVAN TONEY SAID

<p>There has been talk of Ronaldo linking up with Al-Hilal, which would keep him in Saudi Arabia, with the evergreen frontman reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/monster-cristiano-ronaldo-club-world-cup-lionel-messi-inter-miami-chelsea-man-city/blt20c33a49967bcb44" target="_blank">wanted by a number of teams that are preparing to grace the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup</a>.</p>
