Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he will remain with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and is set to sign a new contract with the team.
Sports journalist Fabrizio Romano shared the update on Monday through a post on X. According to him, Ronaldo clearly dismissed rumours that he was planning to leave the club.
The post quoted the 40-year-old striker as saying: “My future? Basically, nothing is gonna change. Staying at Al Nassr? Yea.”
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in December 2022 in a record-breaking deal that brought massive attention to Saudi football. Since his arrival, he has helped raise the profile of the Saudi Pro League and encouraged several other big-name players to move to the region.
His time at Al Nassr has been filled with success on the pitch. He has scored many goals and helped the club remain one of the top teams in the league. His influence has gone beyond football performance, as he has helped increase the league’s popularity around the world.
Just one day before the announcement, Ronaldo helped Portugal win the UEFA Nations League for the second time. The win came four years after the first Nations League tournament was introduced.
Ronaldo’s decision to stay is seen as a big win for Al Nassr and Saudi football. It shows his commitment to the club and to supporting the country’s growing football ambitions.
