A New Journey in Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo signed a new two-year deal with Al-Nassr. This deal will keep him at the Saudi club until June 2027. Ronaldo will be 42 years old when the contract ends. The football legend announced it on Instagram with the caption:
“A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
Rumors End With a Signature
Just last month, Ronaldo said “the chapter is over” after Al-Nassr’s last match of the season. That message started rumors about his possible exit. Some reports claimed he might join another team for the Club World Cup. Ronaldo confirmed that many clubs contacted him, but he chose to stay at Al-Nassr.
Al-Nassr shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), saying Ronaldo will continue as team captain until 2027. This announcement stops all transfer speculation around him.
Ronaldo’s Incredible Record
Since joining Al-Nassr in December 2022, Ronaldo has played 111 matches and scored 99 goals. Last season alone, he scored 35 goals, which earned him the Golden Boot in the Saudi Pro League.
Across his career, Ronaldo has scored 938 goals for club and country. He now needs 62 more to reach the historic 1,000-goal milestone. Fans around the world are waiting to see if he can make history.
What’s Next for Al-Nassr?
Al-Nassr currently has no manager. They parted ways with Stefano Pioli, who joined last September and helped the team finish third in the league. Now, the club must find a new coach before the next season begins.
Ronaldo’s decision to stay proves his belief in the team’s future. Fans hope he will lead them to a league title before his contract ends.
