Cristiano Ronaldo has put all doubts to rest by signing a two-year extension with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. With his bold declaration, "Al Nassr forever," the five-time Ballon d'Or winner shows he’s committed to writing yet another historic chapter in his legendary career.
At 40, Ronaldo’s new deal means he will continue dazzling fans well into his 40s, with plans to play until at least 42. His move from Manchester United at the end of 2022 shocked the football world, and his arrival in Saudi Arabia sparked a wave of top talent moves to the kingdom — a game-changing shift for the region’s football scene. ⚽🔥
In his social media post, accompanied by a picture of him holding a shirt emblazoned with "Ronaldo 2027," he expressed his excitement: "A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together." Despite challenges in clinching major titles at Al Nassr — with the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023 being the club’s only recent honor — his ambition to capture more success, including the elusive FIFA World Cup, remains undiminished.
This extension not only cements his legacy at Al Nassr but also ignites fresh excitement among fans and young football enthusiasts worldwide, eager to see what records this iconic forward will break next.
