Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his intention to extend his contract with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, putting an end to speculation about his future.
Speaking after Portugal's victory in the UEFA Nations League final against Spain, the 40-year-old star made it clear that he plans to remain with the Saudi club. When asked about his future, Ronaldo simply stated, "Basically, nothing is gonna change. Staying at Al Nassr? Yea."
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo is now ready to commit his future to Al Nassr by signing a new deal. This confirmation comes at a crucial time as his current contract is set to expire at the end of June, with previous reports indicating little progress in negotiations over fresh terms.
Ronaldo's Impact on Saudi Football
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner joined Al Nassr in December 2022 following the termination of his contract with Manchester United. His arrival marked a significant turning point for Saudi Arabian football, drawing unprecedented global attention to the league and triggering a wave of high-profile signings across various clubs.
Ronaldo's decision to extend his stay will likely further cement the Saudi Pro League's growing reputation as an attractive destination for international football stars, continuing the transformation that began with his initial signing.
The Portuguese superstar recently celebrated another international achievement, helping his national team secure the UEFA Nations League trophy by defeating Spain in the final.
