Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly agreed to extend his stay at Al Nassr, putting an end to speculation about his future in the Saudi Pro League (SPL).
The 40-year-old was initially set to become a free agent when his current contract expires on June 30, 2025. However, after considering multiple offers from both European clubs and rival Saudi teams, Ronaldo has chosen to remain with Al Nassr.
Deal Confirmed by Transfer Expert
Renowned football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on Wednesday via his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

“Final detail being discussed: one or two-year deal. There’s a concrete possibility to extend until June 2027, if Cristiano wants. Massive move for SPL to keep Cristiano.”
