Cryptic message sparks transfer frenzy for Al Nassr star | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al Nassr is shrouded in uncertainty following a cryptic message posted on his social media accounts. After completing the 2024/25 season with the Saudi club, Ronaldo wrote, “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.” With his contract set to expire in June, speculation has intensified regarding his next destination.

Ronaldo’s impact at Al Nassr since arriving in early 2023 has been significant. In the most recent campaign, he made 41 appearances and found the net 35 times, adding four assists. Despite consistent performances, signs now point toward a summer departure, with no indication of a contract renewal.

The enigmatic nature of Ronaldo’s message leaves room for multiple interpretations. While he suggested his time in Saudi Arabia may be ending, he was equally clear that his playing career will continue elsewhere. Rumours have swirled that his next move could involve a fresh challenge, possibly even in a new league, but there are no confirmed negotiations at this stage.

His exit would mark the end of an era for Al Nassr, who brought the Portuguese veteran to headline the club’s ambitions, both on and off the pitch. Since joining from Manchester United, Ronaldo has provided Al Nassr with prolific goalscoring, international visibility, and helped the club reach the Arabian Champions Cup final in his debut season.

For now, the football world waits as Ronaldo’s representatives keep his next steps under wraps. With his statement provoking widespread reaction and excitement across the transfer market, all eyes will remain on the 39-year-old’s decision in the coming weeks.
