Cristiano Ronaldo has officially signed a new contract with Al Nassr, committing to the Saudi club until 2027. The announcement came via social media, ending weeks of intense speculation about his future.
Al Nassr posted a short video of Ronaldo walking along a beach, ending with the message: “Al Nassr forever.” Moments later, the club confirmed the deal on X. The extension adds two more years to his existing contract and takes him through his 42nd birthday.
Ronaldo’s new contract is reportedly one of the most lucrative in world football. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will continue to lead Al Nassr’s attack after finishing last season as the Saudi Pro League’s top scorer with 35 goals.
Despite Ronaldo’s incredible form, Al Nassr finished third in the league and missed out on all major trophies, including the Asian Champions League, where they fell in the semifinals. Still, Ronaldo’s presence continues to elevate the league’s profile, both in viewership and commercial reach.

Ronaldo’s decision to stay signals ongoing commitment to Saudi Arabia’s football project. His move in 2023 marked a turning point for the league, triggering a wave of global talent including Neymar, Benzema, and Mané. With Saudi Arabia set to host the 2034 World Cup, Ronaldo’s influence goes far beyond the pitch.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF), which backs Al Nassr and other Saudi clubs, considers him central to their football vision.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr after a controversial exit from Manchester United in late 2022. His move to Saudi Arabia shocked the football world, trading European competition for a long-term project.
Now settled in Riyadh, Ronaldo looks ahead. With 938 career goals, his sights are set on reaching 1,000. For Al Nassr, the mission is clear :- win trophies, with their superstar leading the way.
