Cristiano Ronaldo Confirms €400M Al-Nassr Deal After Nations League Win

At 40, Ronaldo has made it clear he’s not ready to hang up his boots, and definitely not ready to walk away from Al-Nassr.

After weeks of speculation linking him to clubs like Wydad Casablanca and Botafogo, especially for a possible Club World Cup cameo, Ronaldo has put all the rumours to bed.

“Will I be in Al-Nassr? Yes,” he told journalists after Portugal’s dramatic Nations League win over Spain. And with that, he confirmed what many had hoped: the legend is staying.

It’s not just any stay. According to multiple sources, Ronaldo is set to sign a staggering new deal with Al-Nassr, reportedly worth €400 million over two years, plus a stake in the club. If true, it’s the kind of contract that doesn’t just secure a future—it cements a legacy.

But for Ronaldo, this isn’t just about money. It’s about belief. Belief in himself, in the league, and in what he’s building in Saudi Arabia.

During the Nations League finals, Ronaldo reminded everyone why he’s still one of the game’s biggest names. He scored the winner against Germany and grabbed a crucial equaliser in the 2-2 draw with Spain before Portugal clinched the victory on penalties.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. He was forced off in the second half with a lingering injury—a knock he said he had been feeling even before kickoff.

“I had already felt the injury during the warm-up,” he said. “But if I had to break a leg for the national team, I would have. It was a title—I had to play. I gave it my all.”

That passion, that willingness to sacrifice, is exactly why fans still rally behind him.

With no Club World Cup on the cards, Ronaldo will get some time to rest and recover. And after pushing through the pain for Portugal, the break is more than deserved. He’s expected to return stronger for Al-Nassr next season, with renewed focus and fresh legs.

Ronaldo confirms injury issue after Nations League victory

During the international break, Ronaldo struck the goal that brought Portugal into the finals and showed his talent for making goals by tying the Spain match at 2-2.

In the second half, the forward, who is recognized for playing for both Manchester United and Real Madrid, was forced off the field because of a mild injury issue. Already during warm-ups, I understood I had an injury, yet I would have played through it to benefit the national team.

Since it was a championship fight, I gave my best to win. Ronaldo added that he scored a goal in the match. As a result of sitting out the Club World Cup, he can relax during his break and resume training for the next season in impressive health.
