The football legend extends his stay in Saudi Arabia as the football club eyes a new era of success.


Cristiano Ronaldo has officially renewed his contract with Al Nassr, confirming that he will remain with the Riyadh-based football club until 2027. The announcement puts an end to speculation about his future and signals another major win for the Saudi Pro League, which continues to build momentum on the international stage.

Ronaldo originally joined Al Nassr in late 2022 on a two-year deal, capturing global attention with what was then one of the most high-profile transfers in football history. Since his arrival, the Portuguese star has scored an incredible 93 goals in 105 appearances and earned the Golden Boot last season with 25 goals, despite the team falling short of major trophies.

In a recent interview shared by the club on social media, Ronaldo said he expects the upcoming season to be his best yet. His renewed energy and focus are aligned with Al Nassr’s ambitions, as the club looks to bounce back stronger in the coming season.

The new contract also reflects the growing influence of top players in the region. Ronaldo’s salary has reportedly more than doubled to SAR 750 million per year, with added performance bonuses, signing incentives and even a stake in club ownership. The scale of the deal confirms his long-term value not just as a player, but as a brand and ambassador for Saudi football.

Since Ronaldo’s move, the Saudi Pro League has seen an influx of global talent, including Karim Benzema, Neymar and Sadio Mané. His influence has helped elevate the league’s profile, attracting more viewers, sponsorships and investment into the sport across the region.

For Al Nassr fans, the extension is a promise of continued star power and a shot at glory. For Ronaldo, it is another chapter in an already extraordinary career. And for Saudi football, it is yet another step toward establishing itself on the world stage.
