The 40-year-old Portuguese superstar's contract with Al Nassr expires at the end of June. However, after helping Portugal win the 2024 UEFA Nations League with a thrilling victory over Spain in Munich, Ronaldo firmly stated: "The future? Nothing has changed. Al Nassr? Yes!"
End the speculation, stay among the attractive offers
Previously, there was much information that Ronaldo was considering leaving Al Nassr after the club failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season.
He himself had fans worried when he wrote on social media after the final game of the season against Al Fateh: “This chapter is closed. The story? Still being written.”
However, CR7's latest statement after the Nations League final has dismissed all doubts. Ronaldo revealed that he had received invitations from teams to participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but he refused to continue with Al Nassr.
According to the media, Ronaldo was once the target of a Brazilian team and especially Al Hilal - Al Nassr's arch-rival in the Saudi Pro League.
Sporting director Fernando Hierro also confirmed that the club has opened negotiations to extend the contract with the Portuguese superstar, despite facing a lot of competition.
Scoring regularly, the title is still far away
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in December 2022 and has become the team's main striker. He finished last season as the Saudi Pro League's top scorer, scoring 25 goals, but could not help Al Nassr surpass third place overall.
To date, Ronaldo has scored a total of 99 goals in 105 games for Al Nassr – an impressive performance. However, the only title he has won with the team is the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup.
Although he has not yet fully achieved his club goals in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is still shining brightly in the national team jersey.
In the recent Nations League final, he scored his 138th goal for Portugal, helping his team equalize 2-2 against Spain, before Ruben Neves successfully scored the decisive penalty to bring home the championship.
Ronaldo did not participate in the penalty shootout because he was taken off in the 88th minute, but his tears of happiness after the match were a testament to the pride and intense emotions that this title brings.
“Winning for Portugal is always special,” said an emotional Ronaldo. “I have many titles with my clubs, but nothing compares to winning for my country. It is an emotion, it is a mission accomplished, it is complete joy.”
