Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Sign Record €400m Deal With Al-Nassr

Football icon to extend Saudi stay with ownership stake and 1,000-goal mission

At 39 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t just extending his playing career – he’s building an empire. The Portuguese superstar is finalizing a staggering two-year, €400 million contract extension with Al-Nassr that will keep him in Saudi Arabia until at least 2026, making him the world’s highest-paid athlete.

The deal, first discussed in January but delayed by its unprecedented complexity, goes far beyond a typical player contract. Sources confirm Ronaldo will receive an ownership stake in Al-Nassr, cementing his transition from superstar signing to club partner. This comes as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner actively shapes the club’s future, having influenced their surprise January move for Aston Villa’s Jhon Durán.

“Everything moved slowly because these weren’t conventional sporting negotiations,” revealed a Marca insider, explaining why Europe’s biggest names – including a much-touted Inter Miami link-up with Lionel Messi – were ultimately dismissed. Ronaldo’s commitment to Saudi football remains absolute, with commercial partners flocking to associate with the global icon.

On the pitch, Ronaldo’s numbers defy his age: 23 Saudi Pro League goals this season and 933 career strikes put his audacious 1,000-goal target firmly in sight. Off it, his business portfolio continues expanding, with rumors of a potential investment in La Liga’s Valencia circulating.

“This is about legacy now,” observed one Saudi football insider. “CR7 isn’t just playing here – he’s helping build something.” With Al-Nassr promising further marquee signings to support their talisman, Ronaldo’s twilight years could yet produce his most remarkable achievements: footballing immortality and Middle Eastern football’s transformation, all before his 41st birthday.
