Ronaldo hints at Al-Nassr stay

Soccer

Cristiano Ronaldo seems set to stay with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League despite rumours of a potential transfer away this summer.

The Saudi Arabian club finished third in the league this season, failing to qualify for the 2025-26 AFC Champions League Elite.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino had claimed that Ronaldo could end up participating in the revamped Club World Cup, but the forward announced that would not be the case.

Following Portugal’s Nations League triumph over Spain, Ronaldo suggested a move away from Al-Nassr was not on the cards.

Ronaldo told reporters: “Future? Nothing will change. Al Nassr? Yes.”

The Portugal international equalised for Portugal in normal time of their penalty shootout win against Spain, taking his tally to 138 for his country.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot for the second successive season in 2024-25, with 25 goals, 10 fewer than his total in the previous campaign.

Since making his debut for Al-Nassr in January 2023, Ronaldo has scored more Saudi Pro League goals than any other player, with 74 in 77 matches.
