Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly close to signing a fresh two-year contract with Al-Nassr, a move that would see the Ballon d’Or winner continue his journey in the Saudi Pro League.
This comes after weeks of uncertainty following his cryptic social media post hinting that his time at the club might be over.
The Portugal captain’s current deal was set to expire by the end of June, sparking rumours of a possible exit.
However, trusted sources say the 39-year-old forward has opted to remain in Saudi Arabia, putting an end to speculations about his next destination.
Ronaldo’s post-season message, which read “the chapter is over,” had stirred confusion among fans.
But this latest development signals not only his intention to stay but also his belief in the long-term vision of Al-Nassr.
Since his high-profile move to Al-Nassr in December 2022, the former Manchester United star has delivered remarkable performances.
The Cristiano Ronaldo goal tally now stands at 99 goals in just 111 appearances, including 35 strikes last season that earned him the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot.
Moreover, the Ballon d’Or winner joined Al-Nassr as a free agent following his controversial departure from Manchester United.
While the Portuguese legend is poised to continue his chapter with Al-Nassr, the club is currently undergoing a managerial shake-up. Stefano Pioli, who was appointed in September, was relieved of his duties on Wednesday.
Under his leadership, the club finished third in the Saudi Pro League, trailing behind champions Al-Ittihad by 13 points.
Despite this, Ronaldo’s continued presence is expected to boost morale and performance.
