Cristiano Ronaldo has officially confirmed a two-year extension with Al Nassr, putting an end to speculation regarding his future in Saudi Arabia. With this move, Ronaldo will continue his career until at least the age of 42, seeking to add more accomplishments to his already illustrious resume.

In his own words, Ronaldo stated:

“A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”

This extension follows his high-profile transfer to Al Nassr in late 2022, leaving Manchester United. Details emerged that the contract could be valued at around $200 million annually. The impact of his move has encouraged several other high-profile players, such as Neymar and Karim Benzema, to join Saudi leagues.

Ronaldo’s contract delay had raised questions recently, especially after he had mentioned that his previous chapter was over. Nonetheless, he has now reiterated his commitment to the club through posts expressing deep affection for Al Nassr.

Ronaldo has an extensive record, boasting five Champions League wins and a remarkable tally of 141 goals in the competition—making him its all-time leading scorer. The only notable absence in his collection of accolades is a World Cup trophy, which he may still have the opportunity to pursue in the upcoming tournament.

Despite contributing significantly to the profile of Saudi Arabian football and netting 77 goals across 74 league matches, triumphs with Al Nassr have been limited, with his only title acquired so far being the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. As anticipation builds for his ongoing legacy, the club released a charming video featuring Ronaldo enjoying the beach, captioning it: “The Story continues..”.
