The Portuguese international has been devastating in the Saudi Pro League and reports claim he might renew his contract ahead of the arrival of some of the very best in the English Premier League.
With 48 goals in 47 appearance this season, he shines in the Middle East with 62 efforts in 66 games across all competitions.
Al-Nassr are understandably keen to keep Ronaldo’s ability and marketing appeal on their books as they look to make more big signings this summer, with Ben Jacobs telling talkSPORT: “2025 is a really key year in Saudi Arabia for two reasons. One, because Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract expires, although my understanding is that he may renew for one year. And two, the television rights are up for renewal and, as you can imagine, in Egypt with Mohamed Salah and Portugal with Ronaldo and/or Bruno Fernandes, there could well be big audiences and lucrative renewals to be had. Depending on if Ronaldo stays, if Fernandes joins and if Salah arrives, and as a consequence, the next 12 months are all about planning who is going to resonate with the international audience. I am told that the Saudi dealmakers want another marquee star from Portugal because they have built up an audience through Ronaldo. If Fernandes comes in 2025 or, potentially but less likely, 2024 then that is a continuation which means maybe you retain that audience and cash in on that audience when the renewal comes up in 12 months time.”
Turning 40 in february 2025 and the Portuguese and former Real Madrid superstar is still strong in the air and holds a powerful shot in both legs even though his dribbling may be a bit slow but the youth will surely fear the strength of the experienced.
