Vincent Aboubakar eventually left Al-Nassr after Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia. The Cameroonian was “forced” to leave the Saudi club to open a vacancy for the Portuguese, returning to Besiktas. The striker, formerly of FC Porto, made the decision to leave Al Nassr even before the arrival of the Portuguese international and confided in a conversation they had. “With the signing of Ronaldo, I made it clear to the coach, even before his arrival, that he wanted to leave. A foreign player would have to be released », he began by saying in an interview with « Canal Plus ». ′′ Ronaldo asked me to stay and the club wanted the season to end, but I wanted to leave. Al Nassr was willing to pay my salary until the end of the season », he added.
Aboubakar returned to Besiktas, a club he had represented on two occasions (2016/17 and 2020/21).
