AFCON 2025
Cristiano Ronaldo has signaled the likely end of his stint with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, although he has made it clear that he has no intention of retiring just yet.
The 40-year-old forward, who joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after a turbulent second spell at Manchester United, hinted at his departure in a social media post where he said, “this chapter is over.” His contract with the Saudi side is set to expire in July.
Despite his individual brilliance, he topped the scoring charts in Saudi Arabia for two consecutive seasons, netting 24 goals this campaign, Ronaldo’s time at Al-Nassr was not marked by team success.
The club finished 13 points behind champions Al-Ittihad this season and failed to win any trophies during his tenure.
Ronaldo recently reached the milestone of 800 career club goals with a strike in a 3-2 loss to Al Fateh, reaffirming his desire to keep playing.
While he has not confirmed his next move, he has been linked to clubs in Major League Soccer and a possible return to his boyhood team, Sporting Lisbon.
