Initial news regarding the 37-year-old's move to Al Nassr came as a surprise to many as it was believed that one of the reasons why the forward wanted to leave Manchester United was to play UEFA Champions League football.
According to Marca, however, the striker's time in the European competition may not be over as there is a clause in his Al Nassr deal that allows the veteran to sign for Newcastle United on loan if they qualify for the UCL.
This potential deal is possible because the Magpies are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund following their takeover of the club in 2021.
Newcastle have impressed so far this season, and are currently third in the EPL, nine points behind log leaders Arsenal.
Ronaldo could be in line to make his debut for Al Nassr against Al Ta'ee on Thursday, with part of his medical said to have already been completed.
