It’s now official: Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Al Nassr until at least June 30, 2026, with a two-year extension option that could keep him in Saudi Arabia through 2027. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who celebrated his 40th birthday in February, has turned down offers from both Inter Miami and Fluminense, choosing instead to continue his journey in the Saudi Pro League.
According to Sky Sports, Ronaldo’s decision underlines his commitment to Al Nassr and his desire to maintain top form ahead of the 2026 World Cup. With his career goal tally hovering around 938, the Portuguese icon remains laser-focused on reaching the historic 1,000-goal mark.
The renewal comes during a period of transition for the club, following the departure of head coach Stefano Pioli and the ongoing search for his replacement. Sporting director Fernando Hierro confirmed interest from other clubs but emphasized that negotiations were always leaning toward a renewal, supported by overwhelming fan backing to keep CR7 in Riyadh.
