Cristiano Ronaldo is a player of Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked speculation about his future after hinting that his time at Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr may be coming to an end.
Following Al Nassr’s 3-2 defeat to Al Fateh on Monday, May 26, 2025, the 40-year-old football legend took to social media with a cryptic message:
“This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all,” accompanied by a photo of himself in the club’s jersey.
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, joined Al Nassr in late 2022 on a record-breaking deal. His contract is set to expire at the end of June, leaving fans and pundits guessing whether Monday’s post signals a farewell or simply marks the close of the 2024/25 campaign.
Al Nassr’s third-place finish means they will not participate in next season’s Asian Champions League, adding further weight to the exit rumours.
Fueling the uncertainty, FIFA president Gianni Infantino revealed over the weekend that Ronaldo could feature in the upcoming expanded Club World Cup, set to kick off on June 14, 2025.
Speaking in an interview with popular streamer IShowSpeed, Infantino noted that a unique transfer window had been created for the tournament.
“There are discussions with some clubs. So, if any club is watching and is interested in hiring Ronaldo for the Club World Cup, who knows?” Infantino said.
While some believe Ronaldo’s message was merely a reflection on the season, others interpret it as a clear sign that his stint in Saudi Arabia is drawing to a close.
