Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Extend Al Nassr Stay with New Contract

June 26, 2025 – Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 40, is poised to sign a new contract with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, potentially keeping him in Riyadh until 2027. The announcement, confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, follows months of speculation about the Portuguese star’s future. The deal, expected to span one or two years, underscores Ronaldo’s commitment to the club where he has already netted 93 goals and provided 19 assists since joining in January 2023.

The extension comes as Ronaldo pursues his personal milestone of 1,000 career goals, with his current tally standing at 938. His decision to remain with Al Nassr, despite interest from European clubs ahead of the 2026 World Cup, highlights his comfort in Saudi Arabia and the lucrative financial package on offer. Reports suggest the contract could make him one of the highest-paid players globally, with additional influence over the club’s transfer decisions.

This move bolsters the Saudi Pro League’s growing international stature, backed by a $1.5 billion investment in talent since 2022. Ronaldo’s continued presence is expected to elevate Al Nassr’s competitiveness and cement the league’s position as a global football powerhouse.
