Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a contract extension with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, keeping him at the club until 2027 [1][2][4]. The deal is one of the most lucrative in sports history, reportedly worth around $677 million [1].
Ronaldo, a five-time Champions League winner and five-time Ballon d'Or recipient, has been a key player for Al-Nassr since joining in 2021. He has scored 93 goals and made 19 assists in 105 matches for the club [4]. The extension comes as Ronaldo continues to top the league's scoring charts for two consecutive seasons [3].
The new contract includes a 15% ownership stake in the club, along with major bonuses and goal-related incentives [1][3]. The extension was confirmed on June 26, 2025, with Ronaldo and Al-Nassr both describing the partnership as “Al Nassr forever” [4].
The extension also coincides with broader changes at the club, including an ownership restructuring under Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and the appointment of Jorge Jesus as the new manager [3]. Ronaldo's goals with this contract are to reach 1,000 career goals and to help Al-Nassr improve their standings in the Saudi Pro League [1].
In the 2024/25 season, Al-Nassr ended in third place with 70 points [6]. Al-Ittihad won the championship with 83 points, while Al-Hilal came second with 75 points [6]. Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr expires on June 30, but the details of the new contract are not disclosed [1].
In addition to his football career, Ronaldo has also been investing in various businesses. In the last year, he invested in the porcelain manufacturer Vista Alegre, the American wearable technology company Whoop, and the dietary supplement brand Bioniq [7]. Ronaldo topped the list of the 50 highest-paid athletes in the world for the third year in a row, earning $275 million in the last year, $225 million from salary and bonuses, and $50 million from sponsorships [8].
Ronaldo confirmed to journalists that he will continue with Al-Nassr after Portugal's UEFA Nations League victory [9]. The football star has also had success with Al-Nassr in international friendlies and preseason tours, including a notable match against UD Almería where he previously enjoyed success during his Real Madrid days [5].
Sports legend Cristiano Ronaldo will continue his football journey at Al-Nassr until 2027, playing in one of the most financially rewarding deals in sports history. Despite the contract details not being disclosed, Ronaldo aims to score 1000 career goals and help Al-Nassr improve their standings in the Saudi Pro League.
