Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly close to extending his contract with Al Nassr

At almost 40 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo would be on the verge of extending his contract for one season with Al Nassr (Saudi Arabia). With an impressive salary to boot.

Retirement time has not yet come for Cristiano Ronaldo. As he celebrates his 40th birthday on February 5, the Portuguese striker is in very advanced discussions with Al Nassr to extend his contract for one season, until June 2026, according to several Saudi media reported by A Bola.

He is aiming for the 2026 World Cup

An agreement has even already been reached between the two parties. And thanks to this extension, the five-time Ballon d’Or should receive an annual salary of 200 million euros, in addition to a possible signing bonus.

Emoluments identical to those he has received since his arrival in Saudi Arabia in January 2023 and which will always make him the highest paid player on the football planet.

The leaders of the Riyadh-based club have also promised to strengthen the squad to hope to win titles, while Al Nassr occupies 3rd place in the Saudi Pro League, nine points behind Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.

With this extension, Cristiano Ronaldo, author of 75 goals in 84 matches with the Saudi team, is also aiming for participation in the 2026 World Cup, organized in Canada, the United States and Mexico, with Portugal. He would thus become the first player to play in six World Cups.
