Cristiano Ronaldo has officially committed his future to Al Nassr, signing a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the Saudi Pro League club until 2027.

The announcement, made by the club on Thursday via a post on X, ends weeks of speculation about the football legend’s next move.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027,” the club declared.

Ronaldo first joined Al Nassr in 2023, becoming one of the earliest high-profile players to make the move to Saudi Arabia. His arrival marked a turning point in the league’s global visibility, sparking an influx of veteran stars to the Gulf state’s top clubs.

Despite finishing third in the league and ending the season without a trophy, Ronaldo hinted at uncertainty about his future in May, posting cryptically on social media, “This chapter is over.” The post fueled rumors of a possible transfer or retirement.

However, the new deal signals renewed confidence in the club’s project and in Ronaldo’s role in it.

“Ronaldo’s presence is a key factor in developing the Saudi league in the last two years and a half. He opens the door for elite and young players to come to Saudi Arabia,” a source from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) told Agence France-Presse (AFP) last month.

The PIF, Saudi Arabia’s oil-funded sovereign wealth fund, holds major stakes in several Pro League teams, including Al Nassr, Al Hilal, and Al Ahli, and has played a central role in the country’s ambitious efforts to elevate its football scene onto the global stage.
