Saudi Pro League giants Al Nassr have initiated fresh talks with Cristiano Ronaldo, aiming to secure a contract extension that would keep the Portuguese superstar at the club beyond his current deal.
Sources close to the club reveal that Al Nassr are optimistic about reaching an agreement and have presented a detailed plan to Ronaldo in hopes of getting his approval in the coming weeks.
The 39-year-old forward, who joined Al Nassr in late 2022, has had a significant impact both on and off the pitch — driving global attention to Saudi football and scoring consistently in domestic and regional competitions.
With his current contract nearing its final stretch, Al Nassr are keen to extend his stay and build a stronger squad around him.
As part of their proposal, the club is reportedly preparing a major summer overhaul, targeting several high-profile signings to support Ronaldo and bolster their title ambitions.
Names currently on the club’s radar include Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, Slovak defender David Hancko, and a yet-to-be-named world-class midfielder. These additions signal Al Nassr’s intent to challenge Al Hilal’s dominance and secure continental success in the AFC Champions League.

The project also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s larger football vision as it prepares to host major international events and continues to lure top global talents to its league.
While Ronaldo has not publicly commented on his future, speculation continues to swirl. Some pundits argue he should seek a final return to Europe or the MLS for a new challenge, while others believe staying in Saudi Arabia offers the perfect platform to extend his legacy and help shape the league’s future.
The decision now rests with Ronaldo. Will he choose to stay and lead Al Nassr’s new era, or seek a new chapter elsewhere?
