Ronaldo, 40 years old, joined Al Nassr in 2022 after his time at Manchester United. This signing made him the highest-paid athlete in the world, a title he has held for the last three years, according to Forbes.Cristiano Ronaldo ha extendido su estadía en Arabia Saudita.Despite his 93 goals in 105 matches for Al Nassr, Ronaldo has only won the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. The team finished as runners-up in the SPL in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, and placed a disappointing third last season.
Recently, Ronaldo celebrated his third title with Portugal, scoring a goal in the Nations League final against Spain. “I have many titles with clubs, but nothing is better than winning for Portugal,” he declared excitedly after lifting the trophy.
The new contract with Al Nassr will allow the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to continue his quest for the milestone of 1,000 career goals. Currently, he has 794 goals in clubs and 138 with Portugal, reaching a total of 932.
Ronaldo rejected the option of playing in the FIFA Club World Cup with another club to prepare for the new season with Al Nassr.
The Riyadh club announced the departure of Stefano Pioli as coach this week, after less than a year in charge of the team.
