Future sporting plans of Cristiano Ronaldo remain undefined
Hang on, CR7 fans! Contrary to what we've all been speculating lately, the GOAT is sticking around. After weeks of speculation about his impending departure, Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to put pen to paper on a fresh two-year contract with Al-Nassr, making him a Saudi Pro League player until 2027! Y'all better get ready to cheer for another two years!
Just a couple of weeks back, Ronny dropped a bombshell on social media, saying his time at Al-Nassr had come to an end. He thanked the club and hinted at a new adventure on the horizon, saying, "This chapter is over. The story? It will continue to be written." But wait! A surprise twist - "A new chapter begins. The same passion, the same dream. Let's write history together," the club announced on social media.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino even fueled the fire when he hinted that Ronaldo might show up at the Club World Cup, for which Al-Nassr isn't even qualified. But, it looks like CR7 has had a change of heart and is staying put. "There have been talks and offers," Ronaldo confessed before the Nations League final against Spain. But after winning the Nations League, he backtracked, saying, "Nothing will change. It's Al-Nassr, yes."
This commitment means Ronaldo, who's 40 now, will be playing until he's 42 in Saudi Arabia. Can you believe it? I mean, the guy's still scoring goals and dribbling like a boss. He don't seem ready for retirement yet! "I still feel good. I can dribble, still shoot, score goals, jump," as he himself said. He hasn't got a clue when he'll hang up his boots, saying that "the day I feel I've got nothing left to give, I'll pack my bags and go." But folks, that day is still far away!
BonusBits:- In case you're wondering, the extension adds two more years to his current deal. Ronaldo announced the new chapter on social media, emphasizing his continued commitment with the message: "Same passing, same dream. Let's make history."- Despite receiving offers, including potential moves linked to the Club World Cup, Ronaldo chose to remain loyal to Al-Nassr, turning down other opportunities due to his ambition to reach the historic milestone of scoring 1,000 career goals before retirement, which he currently has 938 of.- Al-Nassr also recently parted ways with Stefano Pioli, the head coach, with no specific reason given for the separation.
Regarding the renewed contract, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledges, "I'm not going to be able to do this right now, commit to another team," implying he will continue playing football for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League until 2027. Al-Nassr will definitely be the focus of sports enthusiasts for the next two years, with the possibility of Ronaldo reaching the historic milestone of 1,000 career goals during this period.
