Ronaldo Hints at Al Nassr Departure After Emotional Season Finale

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Cristiano Ronaldo has strongly hinted at an imminent exit from Al Nassr after the Saudi Pro League season concluded Monday, posting a cryptic message on social media following what could be his final match for the club.

The 39-year-old Portuguese icon scored in a 3-2 loss to Al Fateh, taking his tally to 99 goals in 105 appearances for Al Nassr. However, the defeat confirmed the club’s failure to qualify for next season’s AFC Champions League.

Shortly after the match, Ronaldo shared a photo of himself in Al Nassr colors with the caption:

“This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Thanks to all.”

Contract Expiry & Brazilian Club Interest

Ronaldo’s current deal expires in June 2025, and recent reports suggest he has received a lucrative offer from an unnamed Brazilian club—potentially opening the door for a Club World Cup appearance in the U.S. this summer.

Botafogo, Fluminense, Flamengo, and Palmeiras are the Brazilian teams set to compete in the tournament, running from June 14 to July 13.

By the Numbers: Ronaldo’s Staggering Career

• 937 official career goals (801 at club level)

• 25 goals (Saudi Pro League top scorer this season)

• 99 goals in 105 games for Al Nassr

What’s Next for CR7?

While retirement rumors persist, Ronaldo’s form suggests he could continue at an elite level. A move to Brazil—or even a MLS switch—remains a possibility.
