Cristiano Ronaldo has made a significant impact since joining Al-Nassr in early 2023.
He has scored 117 goals in 133 matches, highlighting that his skill remains sharp despite his age.
In 2025, he won the Best Middle East Player at the Globe Soccer Awards and was recognized as the Fans’ Player of the Season and for Goal of the Season in the Saudi Pro League.
Off the field, Ronaldo is also achieving considerable success in business.
His contract runs until June 2027, when he will be 42, and he is making strides in real estate investments.
Recently, he bought a €25 million plot on Jumeirah Bay in Dubai, along with two private villas in The Red Sea development.
His retirement mansion in Cascais, Portugal, is nearly finished and is now valued at nearly £30 million.
As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Ronaldo has suggested he may retire after the tournament, according to The Telegraph.
However, he is currently facing tensions with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) regarding the club’s recruitment strategy.
Despite new signings like João Félix and Kingsley Coman, Ronaldo is unhappy with the perceived limitations on Al-Nassr’s budget.
He is particularly frustrated by the team’s quiet winter transfer activity, especially as rivals Al-Hilal strengthened by signing his former teammate, Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo has also received warnings from the Saudi Pro League for missing training and skipping a recent game.
Since his arrival, Al-Nassr has invested about €414 million (£359.4 million) in transfer fees.
The team boasts talents such as Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic, João Félix, and Kingsley Coman.
If he decides to leave, a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) could be a possibility, given his connections in the U.S.
Ronaldo has also expressed interest in potential club ownership in the future.
