Cristiano Ronaldo has officially signaled the end of his journey with Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr. After his team’s final match of the season, Ronaldo took to social media with a short emotional message:”This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.” Ronaldo made a cryptic post on social media, sharing a photo of himself in an Al-Nassr shirt.
Ronaldo signed with Al-Nassr in December 2022 following his departure from Manchester United. His move to Saudi Arabia marked a significant shift in world football, bringing global attention to the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar signed a deal reportedly worth over €200 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world.
Since joining Al-Nassr in 2023, Ronaldo has made a significant impact on the field, scoring 99 goals in 111 appearances. His performances helped Al-Nassr reach several cup finals and stay among the top clubs in the league. However, they ended the 2024-25 season without a major title, finishing third in the Saudi Pro League and falling short in the King’s Cup final.

He scored in his final match with the club, a 3-2 loss to Al-Fateh in their last Saudi Pro League game on May 26, 2025. The final match against Al-Fateh saw Ronaldo score once, but the team couldn’t secure a win. It marked a bittersweet end to the season, and possibly to his time at the club.
After the game, Ronaldo was seen waving to the fans and sharing emotional moments with teammates, adding weight to his cryptic social media post. His contract is set to expire in June 2025, but his message strongly suggests that he won’t be continuing at Al-Nassr beyond this summer.
Now, as his current contract nears its end in June 2025, Ronaldo’s future remains uncertain. Rumors are already swirling about possible moves. Some reports suggest interest from clubs in Brazil and Major League Soccer (MLS), while others believe he may aim for one last European stint or even prepare for retirement.
Adding to the speculation, FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently hinted that Ronaldo may play a role in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June in the United States. Whether he joins a new club for the tournament or appears in another capacity remains to be seen.
At 40 years old, Ronaldo shows no clear signs of slowing down. His physical condition, passion for the game, and desire to compete are still evident. As fans around the world wait for his next move, one thing is certain, Cristiano Ronaldo’s story is far from over. Whatever happens next, it will be another chapter in the remarkable career of a living legend.
