Al-Nassr Seeks Ronaldo Contract Renewal Amid Transfer Speculation

Cristiano Ronaldo's future with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr remains uncertain as his contract expires in June 2025 without a signed extension. Despite scoring 93 goals in 105 appearances and helping Al-Nassr win the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, Ronaldo has grown dissatisfied with the club's failure to secure the Saudi Pro League title, finishing third this season. Ronaldo posted a cryptic message on social media signaling a possible departure, stating, "This chapter is closed!" while expressing gratitude for his journey with the club. Al-Nassr's sporting director, Fernando Hierro, affirmed the club's desire to keep Ronaldo, calling him a "national project" and a "huge phenomenon" instrumental to the league's growth. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted that no new deal is yet signed, leaving open the possibility of Ronaldo exploring opportunities both within Saudi Arabia and abroad, including a potential move related to the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Additionally, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed ongoing talks with clubs expected to compete in the tournament, suggesting Ronaldo might participate, thus extending his playing career beyond Al-Nassr.
