Ronaldo suggests prolonged period with Al-Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo Secures Contract Extension with Al-Nassr Until 2027
Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his continued stay with Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr, signing a new contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2027. The news was officially announced by both Ronaldo and Al-Nassr in early July 2025, putting an end to transfer speculation.
The contract, reportedly worth around $700 million, includes numerous perks such as private jets and a 16-member personal staff, reflecting the club’s intention to retain the footballing legend long-term. In addition, Ronaldo will also have a 15% ownership stake in Al-Nassr, further solidifying his ties to the club.
Ronaldo's commitment to Al-Nassr comes after a successful season in which he won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, scoring 25 goals. He has also been instrumental in the team's success, scoring more Saudi Pro League goals than any other player since joining the club in January 2023, with a total of 74 in 77 matches.
Despite Al-Nassr finishing third in the Saudi Pro League this season, missing qualification for the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Elite, Ronaldo's presence has undoubtedly boosted the club's profile and attracted a global audience.
Rumors of Ronaldo's participation in the revamped Club World Cup were circulating, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino speculating about his potential involvement. However, Ronaldo has announced that he will not be participating in the tournament.
Portugal's captain and all-time leading goalscorer, Ronaldo, scored an equalizing goal for his country in their penalty shootout win against Spain in the Nations League, bringing his tally to 138 goals for his country. Despite Portugal's triumph, Ronaldo indicated that he has no plans to leave Al-Nassr and will continue to represent the club in the 2025-26 season and beyond.
In a recent statement, Ronaldo confirmed his continued stay with Al-Nassr, stating, "I am delighted to have signed a new contract with Al-Nassr. I am excited to continue my journey with the club and to contribute to its success. I am looking forward to a new chapter with the same aspiration and enthusiasm."
The club officially confirmed his stay and emphasized the start of a "new chapter" with the same aspiration and enthusiasm, expressing their gratitude for Ronaldo's commitment and dedication to the club.
With Ronaldo under contract and committed to Al-Nassr, fans can look forward to seeing the footballing legend continue to shine on the pitch in the 2025-26 season and beyond.
