The future of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr has finally been addressed amid growing speculation about a possible move away from the Saudi Pro League giants.

In a statement that has brought clarity and calm to anxious fans, Fernando Hierro, the club’s sporting director, revealed that Al-Nassr is in active discussions with Ronaldo to extend his contract, which expires this summer.

“Ronaldo’s presence from the beginning is a national project. He is a huge phenomenon in the history of football and has helped the league grow,” Hierro said on Thursday, via Al Nassr Zone on X (formerly Twitter).

“We are in contact to renew his contract and hope he continues with us.”

⚽ The Numbers Don’t Lie

Since his arrival in early 2023, Ronaldo has scored a staggering 93 goals in 105 appearances, proving his age is just a number. Despite his brilliance, Al-Nassr’s failure to win major silverware, including finishing third in the league this season, has cast doubt on the Portuguese star’s contentment.

This frustration has reportedly opened the door for a shock move to rivals Al Hilal, especially with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup approaching — a tournament Ronaldo is said to be keen on featuring in one more time.

🗣️ Opinion: Should Ronaldo Stay or Move On?

Ronaldo's Saudi adventure has certainly boosted the visibility and marketability of the Saudi Pro League. His presence has brought new fans, global media attention, and even encouraged other top players to consider moves to the region.

But Ronaldo is also a competitor above all else. While he's helped grow the brand, he remains hungry for trophies. If Al-Nassr cannot deliver silverware to match his ambition, the lure of Al Hilal or even another Club World Cup contender could be hard to resist.

Still, Al-Nassr sees him as more than a player — he's a project, a symbol, a movement. His departure would leave a vacuum not just in the club, but in the league’s global campaign.
