Cristiano Ronald has signed a new two-year contract with Al Nassr to extend his stay in the Saudi Pro League, the club announced Thursday.
Ronaldo, 40, joined the Riyadh-based team in December 2022 after leaving Manchester United in acrimonious circumstances.
His previous Al-Nassr deal had been due to expire at the end of June.
The team posted a teaser video, with the 40-year-old Ronaldo walking along a beachfront and saying: “Al Nassr forever”.
Ronaldo wants to score 1,000 goals before he contemplates retirement. He is currently on 938 goals.
In a post on X, Ronaldo wrote: “A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
Earlier in the summer, Inter Miami were linked with a stunning swoop to unite the two goats of football Lionel Messi and Ronaldo in one team.
