Cristiano Ronaldo set to stay at Saudi club Al-Nassr as another World Cup looms closer
The 40-year-old reportedly ends talk about his club future after playing ‘decisive role’ in his Portugal team winning another title
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly ended speculation about his club future, and said he would continue to play at Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr as he also probably sets his sights on next year’s World Cup.
“Nothing is going to change. Playing at Al-Nassr? Yes,” he was quoted as saying early on Monday by several reports after captaining Portugal to the Nations League title in Munich.
Ronaldo, 40, joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after falling out with coach Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. His current contract is until June 30.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino had recently suggested that Ronaldo could move to a side qualified for the upcoming Club World Cup. Ronaldo on Saturday confirmed talks but said he would not be at the tournament in the United States.
On Sunday, Portugal beat Spain 5-3 on penalties to give Ronaldo and his team a third trophy, the others being at Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League.
“I have many titles but there is nothing better than winning with the national team,” the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said.
