Cristiano Ronaldo, one of football’s biggest names, might be considering a spiritual shift. Former Al-Nassr goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah revealed in an interview that Ronaldo has shown genuine interest in converting to Islam. This statement has added fuel to the long-standing rumors circulating on social media.
Waleed shared a personal moment, saying, “I once spoke to Cristiano Ronaldo about embracing Islam, and he expressed interest.” He highlighted that Ronaldo respects Islamic practices, including pausing training sessions during the Adhan and encouraging Muslim teammates to pray. Such gestures have left many fans admiring his openness towards different cultures and beliefs.
In another instance, Waleed mentioned Ronaldo’s humility on the field, noting that he has even prostrated after scoring a goal. “Ronaldo often asked me about Saudi culture, the club, and other aspects when he first arrived,” Waleed explained, emphasizing how Ronaldo’s curiosity helped him adapt to life in Saudi Arabia.
Despite the speculations, Waleed concluded with a thoughtful remark: “Whether Ronaldo embraces Islam or not, his humility and discipline are what make him exceptional.” This insight reflects the deep respect Ronaldo has earned not only as an athlete but also as a person.
