Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of extending his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and has reportedly reached an agreement to become a co-owner of the club. According to a report by Spanish outlet Marca, Ronaldo’s new deal will include a five per cent stake in the club, marking a significant shift in his relationship with Al Nassr.
Since joining Al Nassr in December 2022, Ronaldo has brought significant global attention to the Saudi Pro League. However, despite his star power and individual performances, the 39-year-old has not been able to replicate the same success he enjoyed at his previous clubs in terms of trophies. Ronaldo has expressed his desire to change that, focusing on both personal and team achievements.
The details of the new contract, which is said to be financially lucrative, indicate a long-term commitment between Ronaldo and the club. The contract will not only secure his future at Al Nassr but will also grant him an ownership stake, solidifying his involvement in the club’s future decisions.
In previous interviews, Ronaldo has expressed his satisfaction with his life in Saudi Arabia. He stated that both he and his family are happy with their new life and enjoy the country’s beauty. He also commented on the challenges of competing in the Saudi Pro League, noting the strength of teams like Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad but reaffirming his determination to help Al Nassr win more titles.
Despite facing tough competition in the league, Ronaldo remains focused on his professional responsibilities. He emphasized that the most important things are to stay professional, respect the club, honor his contract, and believe that the team will improve.
Ronaldo kicked off 2025 with a strong performance, scoring his 11th goal of the season in Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Okhdood. The game, which marked the restart of the Saudi Pro League after a one-month break, saw Ronaldo score from the penalty spot to give Al Nassr the lead, helping them secure an important win. Currently, Ronaldo is just one goal behind Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al-Hilal in the league’s top scorer rankings.
With the new contract and ownership deal reportedly on the horizon, Ronaldo’s future with Al Nassr seems set to intertwine even more with the club’s growth and success.
