Cited in recent days alongside Real Madrid and PSG, Cristiano Ronaldo has clarified his future.
At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo does not plan to end his career at the end of the season. The Portuguese has scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 13 matches this season, which makes him the current second top scorer in the Saudi championship behind Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic (12 goals). But Al Nassr is only in fourth place in the championship and rumors have indicated a possible departure this summer, while CR7's contract expires in June. A return to Real and interest from PSG were notably mentioned.
“We’re going to stay here”
While he earns €200 million per year at Al-Nassr, it was hard to imagine the Portuguese leaving Saudi Arabia, and he has just clarified his situation this Saturday. “I am happy in Saudi Arabia and so is my family,” he said. We started a new life in this pleasant country. It is difficult to compete with teams like Al Hilal and Al Ittihad but we will stay here, we will continue to work, to fight. It's football. The most important thing is to remain professional, to respect the club, to respect your contract and to believe that things will change, that Al Nassr will try to win more titles. I want to win the AFC Champions League for the club. » No departure in sight, therefore. But a lot of pressure to extend his contract!
