Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal’s national team captain and football legend, has officially confirmed that he will continue his career at Al Nassr, putting an end to widespread rumors about his potential exit from the Saudi Pro League club.
Speaking after Portugal’s UEFA Nations League final victory over Spain, the 40-year-old football icon addressed questions about his future, simply stating:

His remarks indicate full commitment to staying with Al Nassr for the foreseeable future.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Ronaldo’s Decision
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano also shared the update on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, quoting Ronaldo:
“Cristiano Ronaldo confirms plan to stay at Al Nassr by signing a new deal. My future? Basically, nothing is gonna change. Staying at Al Nassr? Yea.”
Contract Renewal Clears Uncertainty
Ronaldo’s previous contract with Al Nassr was set to expire at the end of June 2025, and until this confirmation, no official details of a potential renewal had been disclosed. The decision ends weeks of media speculation surrounding the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s next career move.
Ronaldo first joined Al Nassr in December 2022 after parting ways with Manchester United. Since then, his presence has significantly elevated the Saudi Pro League’s global appeal, inspiring a wave of high-profile international signings.
Ronaldo’s Impact on Saudi Football
Ronaldo’s influence in Saudi Arabia has gone beyond the pitch. His arrival sparked a transformation in the country’s football landscape, attracting other European stars and increasing international viewership. His continued stay is expected further to boost the league’s status on the world stage.
