Cristiano Ronaldo to Extend Stay with Al Nassr: New Contract on the Horizon
Cristiano Ronaldo to Extend His Stay with Al Nassr
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In a move that has delighted fans and pundits alike, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to sign a new contract with Al Nassr, according to insider Fabrizio Romano. The legendary forward, who turned 40 this year, will reportedly extend his stay with the club for one or two more years.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023, making headlines with a record-breaking deal after leaving Manchester United. As his initial contract approached its expiration, speculation swirled about his future, with many wondering if he would seek a new challenge.
Despite the rumors, Ronaldo has continued to showcase his remarkable talent on the pitch. Over his two-plus seasons with Al Nassr, he has consistently been a top performer, leading the Saudi Pro League in scoring for the last two seasons. In the 2024-25 season alone, he netted an impressive 25 goals in league play and 35 across all competitions. However, the club has yet to secure a Saudi Pro League title during his tenure, finishing third last season.
Earlier this month, Ronaldo stirred the pot with a cryptic social media post stating, "this chapter is over," following Al Nassr’s final game of the season. While on international duty with Portugal, where he recently led his team to victory in the UEFA Nations League, he hinted at receiving "quite a few" offers from clubs participating in the ongoing Club World Cup.
When asked about his club future after Portugal’s triumph over Spain in the Nations League final, Ronaldo was clear: "Nothing will change," he stated, affirming his commitment to Al Nassr with a simple "Yes" when pressed about staying.
Ronaldo’s illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including five Ballon d’Or awards. His journey began at Sporting Lisbon, followed by a transformative stint at Manchester United, where he won three Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League. His record-setting time at Real Madrid saw him become the club’s all-time leading scorer, while his tenure at Juventus brought two Serie A titles.
For Portugal, Ronaldo holds the record for the most goals scored in men’s international football, with 138 goals. He has captained his national team to three major titles, including the 2016 European Championship and two Nations League titles (2019, 2024). As he eyes the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down, ready to continue making history on the global stage.
Stay tuned for more updates as Ronaldo embarks on this new chapter with Al Nassr, further solidifying his legacy in the world of football.
