According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo is close to signing a new deal with Al Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team.
Accordingly, it is anticipated that Cristiano Ronaldo would stay in Saudi Arabia past this summer and during the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2026.
Ronaldo will be bound to Al Nassr for at least two years under the terms of the new, expensive deal, with the option of a third year depending on his performance and preferences during that period.
Ronaldo’s desire to represent Portugal at the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, makes this extension especially noteworthy.
This contract has been negotiated for a number of months. Although a speedy settlement was first anticipated in January, the agreement’s complexity has caused a delay in the public announcement.

This arrangement adds levels of complication to the bargaining process because it includes larger commercial, ambassadorial, and developmental functions for Ronaldo, in contrast to traditional sports contracts that usually just focus on player performance.
Keep in mind that Ronaldo’s new deal might be worth an incredible €200 million a year, making him one of the highest-paid players in the world and a major contributor to raising Saudi football’s profile internationally.
