Cristiano Ronaldo signs contract extension with Al Nassr till 2027
Cristiano Ronaldo has officially committed his future to Al Nassr, signing a two-year contract extension that will keep him at the Saudi Pro League club until 2027. The announcement, made by the club on Thursday via a post on X, ends weeks of speculation about the football legend's next move. Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027 — AlNassr FC (@AlNassrFC_EN) June 26, 2025 'Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027,' the club declared. Ronaldo first joined Al Nassr in 2023, becoming one of the earliest high-profile players to make the move to Saudi Arabia. His arrival marked a turning point in the league's global visibility, sparking an influx of veteran stars to the Gulf state's top clubs. Despite finishing third in the league and ending the season without a trophy, Ronaldo hinted at uncertainty about his future in May, posting cryptically on social media, 'This chapter is over.' The post fueled rumors of a possible transfer or retirement. However, the new deal signals renewed confidence in the club's project and in Ronaldo's role in it. 'Ronaldo's presence is a key factor in developing the Saudi league in the last two years and a half. He opens the door for elite and young players to come to Saudi Arabia,' a source from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) told Agence France-Presse (AFP) last month. The PIF, Saudi Arabia's oil-funded sovereign wealth fund, holds major stakes in several Pro League teams, including Al Nassr, Al Hilal, and Al Ahli, and has played a central role in the country's ambitious efforts to elevate its football scene onto the global stage.
