Cristiano Ronaldo Commits to Al Nassr Until 2027 Despite Trophy Drought
Cristiano Ronaldo has officially extended his stay with Al Nassr until 2027, ending speculation about his potential departure. The Portuguese star reaffirmed his commitment to the Saudi Arabian club despite rumors linking him with a move to rivals Al Hilal. His contract renewal signals both a personal and professional continuation of his journey in Middle Eastern football, where he has become a key figure.
Following his high-profile move in January 2023 after parting ways with Manchester United, Ronaldo quickly became Al Nassr’s most influential player. In just over 100 appearances, he has delivered an impressive tally of 93 goals and 19 assists. His on-field performance has remained consistently strong, proving that even at 40, he is still capable of producing world-class football.
Despite his individual brilliance, the club has struggled to secure major titles. In his first full season, Al Nassr finished as runners-up, but last season they slipped to third in the Saudi Pro League. These results have kept them from qualifying for the premier Asian competition, placing them instead in the second-tier AFC Champions League 2, which is often compared to the Europa League in Europe.
Ronaldo’s renewed contract reportedly comes with a staggering salary, reflecting both his market value and his influence in global football. While silverware has so far eluded him in Saudi Arabia, his continued presence offers Al Nassr hope of achieving success in the seasons to come. The club remains eager to build around him, aiming to turn his commitment into tangible victories on the field.
