Despite rumors linking him to a departure, Cristiano Ronaldo will indeed extend his contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. And what a contract! A rain of millions and shares in the club, the Portuguese star has not finished making people envious.
At 39, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to set the tone in world football and sports finance. The Portuguese striker has reportedly reached an agreement with Al-Nassr to extend his contract until June 2026, ensuring his presence in Arab football for at least two more seasons.
With this renewal, the star not only reaffirms his commitment to the club’s project, but also secures an impressive salary that keeps him among the highest paid players in the world.
According to local media, Cristiano will earn a salary close to 180 million euros for the 2025/26 season. Although this figure is slightly lower than the more than €200 million he currently receives, it remains a contract that reflects his status and importance in Middle Eastern football. Even more, according to Marca, will now become the owner of Al-Nassr up to 5%.
His continuity also suggests his intention to prepare in Saudi Arabia for the 2026 World Cup, perhaps his last major international tournament. Having scored 75 goals since joining Al-Nassr, Ronaldo continues to add to his impressive tally, now tallying 911 goals at club and international level.
The challenge of reaching 1,000 career goals doesn’t seem far-fetched for someone like Cristiano. His ambition and discipline have defined him throughout more than two decades of his career. With his renewed contract and a key role in the growth of Saudi football, the Portuguese icon continues to prove that age is no barrier to making history.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make headlines not only for his achievements on the pitch, but also for his impact off the pitch. His legacy as one of the most influential footballers in history remains firmly intact, and his decision to stay with Al-Nassr is another testament to his enduring presence in world sport.
