Cristiano Ronaldo’s Future with Al Nassr Confirmed
After months of speculation, Al Nassr has officially decided the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Saudi club has reached a definitive agreement with the Portuguese legend to extend his contract for one more season, until the summer of 2026.
According to Saudi newspaper Al Riyadiya, both parties also discussed the possibility of further extensions, though financial details of the new contract were not disclosed.
This decision puts an end to widespread rumors regarding Ronaldo’s next move—whether he would extend for two more seasons or seek a move to a club competing for major European trophies.
What Has Ronaldo Achieved with Al Nassr?
Since joining Al Nassr in January 2023 on a free transfer from Manchester United, Ronaldo has been a transformational figure for the club.
- Appearances: 90
- Goals: 82
- Assists: 19
- Trophies:
- Arab Club Champions Cup (King Salman Cup) – First in club history
- Individual Accolades:
- Saudi Pro League Golden Boot (35 goals in 2023/24) – Record for most goals in a single season by a player over 40
Although Al Nassr finished as runners-up in both the Saudi Pro League and King’s Cup last season, Ronaldo secured the league’s Golden Boot and continued breaking records at 40 years old.
Ronaldo’s Dream: 1,000 Career Goals & More Titles
On Wednesday, Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday by scoring in Al Nassr’s 2-1 win against Al-Fayha in the Saudi Pro League Matchday 19.
That goal marked his 924th career goal, bringing him 76 goals away from achieving his ultimate dream—reaching 1,000 career goals.
As he celebrated two years in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo also revealed his ambitions:
- Winning the AFC Elite League title with Al Nassr
- Competing fiercely for the Saudi Pro League championship
With his contract now extended, Ronaldo is fully focused on achieving these goals while continuing to set new milestones in football history.
