Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023, following his acrimonious departure from Manchester United. The Portuguese striker has 30 official matches and 25 goals for Al Nassr.
This season, the 38-year-old striker leads the Saudi Professional League scoring rankings with ten goals in eight games. Ronaldo’s outstanding form has led to regular appearances for Portugal’s national team under coach Roberto Martínez. Portugal will play two matches against Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the next round of the 2024 European Championship qualifying.
Before joining the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo talked with Al Nassr management and announced his retirement from his outstanding career. According to Saudi writer Ali Al Harbi, CR7 wants to extend his contract until early 2027, when he would surely retire from sports. The Portuguese star hopes to compete in the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
“Ronaldo wants to play in the 2026 World Cup as a player for Al Nassr and then he will announce his retirement from football,” he said.
Thus, Ronaldo intends to retire at the age of 42. The issue is whether the Portuguese star will win any more international titles. Let us wait and see!
