Cristiano Ronaldo started his career in the Saudi league in 2023, and since then he has scored 75 goals in 84 matches for al-Nassr. As we indicated earlier, the current contract of the Portuguese classic, who celebrated his 40th birthday on February 5, expires at the end of the season, i.e. in the summer. Now, however, the Portuguese Abola has dispelled doubts about Ronaldo’s future: according to the newspaper, it has been decided that he will extend his contract with al-Nassr by one year, until the summer of 2026.
The According to Abola’s article Ronaldo can get a crazy amount, according to his new contract, he is worth 200 million euros (about HUF 82 billion) for one year.
This is also logical because Ronaldo wants to be there at the 2026 World Cup, for which the Portuguese national team can even qualify against the Hungarians. By staying another year in the colors of al-Nassr, his continuous play is guaranteed until then, and this has been enough for him to continue to receive an invitation to the national team.
Apart from money, what else motivates Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia?
On the other hand, Ronaldo has not yet been a Saudi champion, in 2023 and 2024 al-Nassr came second, which is currently only in third place, and the disadvantage is nine points. Therefore, there is no guarantee of winning the championship this year, and Ronaldo is proud of the fact that he has been champion in all the countries where he has visited as a legionnaire. With extra time in Saudi Arabia, he gives himself another chance to do so.
Ronaldo also made it clear earlier that he would like to reach the goal of a thousand goals in his career. It currently stands at 917 hits, and in another year it could even reach a thousand.
