The 38-Year-Old Football Icon Hints at Continuing His Career Beyond Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo, a name synonymous with football greatness, remains open to exploring new opportunities as his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr approaches its end next summer. Despite turning 40 in February, the Portuguese legend shows no signs of slowing down or retiring.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after a rocky return to Manchester United, signing a lucrative deal that brought him to the Saudi Pro League. Since then, he has continued to dazzle, racking up 16 goals and three assists in 19 appearances this season. Recently, he surpassed the monumental milestone of 1,000 career goals, further cementing his legacy as one of football’s all-time greats.
“You Never Know What Can Happen”
Speaking at the Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo confirmed his openness to offers once his contract expires, noting, “You never know what can happen in the future.” As of January 1, he will be free to negotiate with clubs, fueling speculation about his next move.
However, Spanish outlet Marca reports that Ronaldo is eager to leave a mark in Saudi Arabia before considering a departure. Winning a title with Al-Nassr remains a priority for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, but the right offer could change his plans.
Limited Options but Big Ambitions
While Ronaldo’s earning demands limit the number of clubs that can afford him, particularly outside the Middle East, his hunger to continue breaking records ensures that he will remain a sought-after talent. Despite rumors of a potential move to Turkey, these speculations have been firmly denied.
If he stays in Saudi Arabia, it’s unlikely he would move to another club in the league, making his next career step all the more intriguing. Wherever Ronaldo goes, one thing is certain: his determination to perform at the highest level remains unwavering, even as he approaches his 40th birthday.
