Al-Nassr has renewed Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract for one year, with the option of a further year, bringing to an end one of the most controversial stories of recent months. Rumors circulated about the Portuguese legend’s desire to pursue a new experience outside of Parc des Princes.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in the winter of 2022, hoping to achieve success in Asia after finishing his career in Europe—as he put it—but the 40-year-old has failed to win any official titles with the “Knight of Najd” to date.
After much controversy surrounding his future, Ronaldo opted to remain with Al-Nassr after promises of a major technical and administrative revolution. At the same time, Ronaldo was granted astronomical financial benefits, making him the highest-paid football player in history.
