Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly reached an agreement with Al Nassr to extend his contract until June 2026, a club official told AFP. While the deal is yet to be signed, an official announcement is expected soon.

The Portuguese star, who turned 40 last week, initially joined the Saudi club in January 2023 and has since netted 82 goals in 90 matches. Despite speculation about his retirement, Ronaldo previously stated he intends to finish his career at Al Nassr, whether in a few years or sooner.

His move to Saudi Arabia, once seen as an end-of-career payday, has instead influenced a wave of high-profile transfers to the league. Saudi Arabia’s successful bid for the 2034 World Cup further underscores the country’s ambitions in global football.

While Ronaldo has shattered records and continues his prolific form, he is still chasing major domestic and continental titles with Al Nassr. As he approaches the milestone of 1,000 professional goals, the football icon remains determined to add to his legacy.
