Portugal captain and global football icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, has confirmed his intention to remain at Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, putting an end to speculation about a potential departure.
According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Ronaldo is not only staying but is also prepared to sign a new contract with the Saudi Pro League side.
In a post on 𝕏 on Monday, Romano quoted the 40-year-old striker as saying, “My future? Basically, nothing is gonna change. Staying at Al Nassr? Yea.”
The announcement comes just a day after Ronaldo played a pivotal role in helping Portugal secure their second UEFA Nations League title — a milestone that further cements his enduring influence on the international stage.
Since joining Al Nassr in December 2022 on a record-breaking deal, Ronaldo has transformed the club’s fortunes both on and off the pitch.
His arrival was a watershed moment for Saudi football, sparking a surge of international attention and high-profile player transfers to the region.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to stay in the Middle East is viewed as a major win for both Al Nassr and the broader Saudi football project, which aims to establish the country as a major player in the global sports scene.
