Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Al-Nassr following fresh agreement | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to sign a new two-year contract with Saudi Pro League (SPL) club Al-Nassr, according to Foot Mercato.

There were rumours about Ronaldo joining Saudi rivals Al-Hilal or Al-Ahli, which intensified after he posted a cryptic message on Twitter.

The post raised doubts about whether he would continue with Al-Nassr beyond this season.

However, Ronaldo is set to extend his stay at Al-Nassr until 2027. This new contract would keep him in Saudi Arabia beyond his 42nd birthday.

Ronaldo ends the season as the top scorer but without a trophy

The former Real Madrid star had another strong season in front of goal, bagging 35 goals and four assists across all competitions.

Ronaldo finished the league season with 25 goals in 30 matches. He won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second year running.

Despite his individual success, Al-Nassr endured a disappointing campaign. The club finished third in the league, falling short in their pursuit of the title.

They were also eliminated in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League by Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale and missed out on the Saudi Super Cup and the King’s Cup.

Despite this, the Portuguese forward’s commitment to the project appears strong. His goal return remains impressive, and he continues to deliver at a decent level.

If the deal goes through as expected, SPL fans can look forward to watching Ronaldo for another two years.

His continued presence in the league will also help maintain global interest in the SPL.
