Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous footballers in the world, and he is also a kind of ambassador for Saudi Arabia. But will the Portuguese soon leave the desert behind?
The sporting situation at Al-Nassr probably lets Cristiano Ronaldo doubt his future in Saudi Arabia. As the Spanish newspaper “Marca” reports, the talks about an early contract extension of the Portuguese superstar are currently on hold.
Accordingly, the 40-year-old is increasingly dealing with the question of whether staying at the Saudi club is still useful. Above all, the sporting perspective is said to have triggered doubts about Ronaldo.
Finally, an expansion of his contract seemed to be prompted by 2027. But after several setbacks in the current season, the offensive player is said to have changed his opinion. Al-Nassr has left Frontale in the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League against Kawasaki. Even in the league, things are not going according to plan: the club is currently only in fourth place-eleven points behind leaders al-afterihad. The renewed disappointment in the title race could now have consequences.
According to the report, however, a career end is not an issue. Ronaldo continues to participate in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The brand of 1000 career gates also remains a goal. He currently comes to 926 hits. It is open whether he continues this goal in Saudi Arabia. In any case, a farewell no longer seems to be excluded.
