Riyadh – Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to remain in the Saudi Arabian al -NASSR FC cadre.
The club informed on Thursday about a new two-year contract for a 40-year-old striker. His future in the Middle East was questionable in the past period, but after months of speculation, the Portuguese finally remains in the team of a participant in Saudi Pro League.
“A new chapter begins. The same passion, the same dream. Let’s create history together,” He wrote a native of Madeira on social networks.
Ronaldo had originally a contract with his employer until the end of June. Doubts about his stay was stirred by himself. After the highest competition there, the social network added a post with the description “This chapter is over”.

The President of the International Football Federation Gianni Infantino subsequently indicated that an experienced attacker could wear the jersey of one of the participants of the World Cup. Ronaldo received offers from the participants of the 32-member tournament, but he did not pound any of them. According to the BBC, he should also consider his own sports investment in Saudi Arabia.
The Portuguese representative moved to the Gulf of the Gulf in 2023, when he ended his second work in Manchester United prematurely.
It was followed by several players from all over the world, including Brazilian Neymar and a former teammate from Real Madrid Karim Benzema. He scored 99 goals in 111 matches, earning a prize for the best scorer of the competition. However, he has not yet managed to win no trophy with the team.
