Cristiano Ronaldo has been grabbing the eyeballs ever since his move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The veteran has been performing pretty well for the club. Also, since CR7 started playing in Saudi Arabia, many greats of the game have followed his path and moved to the Middle East to pursue their careers further.
Since signing for Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 25 goals in just his 30 appearances for the club. The 38-year-old also registered eight assist contributions, taking his total goal contribution tally to 33. The Portuguese number seven is proving to be a very important player for Al-Nassr. His goal-scoring consistency certainly propels the club.
According to the reports, CR7 has reflected his wish to renew his contract at Al-Nassr until the start of the year 2027 in the club’s hierarchy. Reports say the veteran has also enchanted his tune for the World Cup 2026. They claim that Portugal’s legend wants to take part in the 2026 World Cup as an Al-Nassr player, and after that, the Portuguese will declare his retirement.
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly informed Al Nasser before traveling to the Portuguese national team that he wants to renew his contract until the beginning of 2027.

However, despite claiming multiple trophies in his career, CR7 has never won a World Cup with his country, Portugal. It will be an honor that the 38-year-old wants to add to his tally. However, with Al-Nassr, the Portuguese recently won the Arab Club Championship. The player is also finding the Saudi Pro League suited to his appetite. He is dominating the league as a goal-scorer.
So, there are reasons to justify his wish to renew his contract in the Middle East. Earlier, Al-Nassr’s forward was asked about his choice to return to Europe. The veteran answered by saying, “I am hundred percent sure, I won’t return to any European club”. The statement further justifies his agenda to stay at Al-Nassr. Portugal’s forward wears the captain’s armband for both his country and his club.
Current contract and salary details of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr
CR7’s current contract at the Al-Nassr Darts is until June 2025. The veteran signed for the Saudi Pro League club in the early part of January 2023, after his controversial exit from Manchester United. Al-Nassr penned Ronaldo as a free agent.
As per the reports, the Portuguese number seven earns a salary figure in the range of $200 million annually at the club. Regarding this figure, his monthly wages do sit around the mark of approximately $16.7 million. With Portugal number seven’s wish to extend and renew his current contract at the club, it remains to be seen whether these figures remain the same or take a hike.
