Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo may be rethinking his future at Al-Nassr, following the club’s recent string of disappointing results, which have reportedly stalled contract extension talks.
According to Marca, negotiations for a fresh two-year deal with the 40-year-old forward have been put on hold after Al-Nassr suffered a 3-2 defeat to rivals Al-Ittihad in a crucial Saudi Pro League clash earlier this week.
The setback came just days after the team’s AFC Champions League semi-final elimination at the hands of Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale, further compounding what has become a frustrating season for both Ronaldo and the Riyadh-based club.
Sources close to the situation say Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr from Manchester United in early 2023, had expected to commit to an extended stay. However, the lack of silverware and growing concerns over the team’s competitiveness have prompted the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to reassess his commitment.
While Ronaldo remains the most prominent figure in the Saudi Pro League—helping boost its global profile—his trophyless run with Al-Nassr has left both parties at a crossroads.
Al-Nassr officials are said to be re-evaluating their position, with the possibility of Ronaldo moving to another top-tier Saudi club not off the table.
The coming weeks are expected to be crucial in determining whether the Portuguese icon remains in yellow or seeks a new challenge elsewhere within the Kingdom—or beyond.
