Reports from Portugal suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo, who will turn 40 in February, is set to extend his stay at Al-Nassr until June 2026. Contrary to speculation about his departure from Saudi Arabia or potential retirement, the Portuguese star is expected to sign a new contract with his current club. The deal will reportedly maintain his impressive earnings of approximately 200 million euros per season, with additional bonuses tied to performance and commercial rights.
This development follows weeks of rumors across Europe about Ronaldo’s future, with some suggesting a possible return to the continent. However, "A BOLA," a prominent Portuguese sports outlet, confirms that the legendary forward plans to remain with Al-Nassr for at least two more years. Ronaldo’s commitment ensures his continued presence in Saudi football, where he has been a central figure both on and off the pitch.
Since joining Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has made a significant impact, scoring 81 goals in 90 matches across all competitions. This season alone, he has netted 17 goals in 20 appearances and is currently on a six-game scoring streak. Despite his individual brilliance, the team has faced challenges in securing titles, sitting third in the Saudi Pro League standings, nine points behind the leaders after 14 matches.
For the Portugal national team, this is encouraging news as Ronaldo's extended career ensures his availability for the 2026 World Cup, where he will be 41 years old. His decision to continue playing at a high level underscores his determination to remain a pivotal figure in both club and international football.
