Khaled Al-Malik provides update on Cristiano Ronaldo's future

The 40-year-old joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract, worth a whopping $75 million per year. His current contract is set to expire this summer. Ever since his signing, he has been one of the best players in the Saudi Pro League.

There have been multiple speculations about his future amid his contract expiration. He has been linked to a move to the arch rivals Al-Hilal. There were even reports that he might join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in a shocking transfer deal.

But, Al-Nassr's Vice President shut down all those rumors when he claimed that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is fully committed to the club. Al-Malik even shared that the latest update on Ronaldo's future will soon be revealed to the world via media.

Ronaldo is a fan of Al Nassr, and we will announce the renewal decision in the media. We have forgotten about the victory over Al Hilal, and we are only thinking about the victory over Al Qadsiah, Khaled Al-Malik said (via Al Nassr Zone's X handle).

The 2016 Euro Cup winner has been in terrific form this season as he has scored 32 goals and four assists in the 35 appearances across competitions. During his time at the Al-Nassr, he has recorded 90 goals and 19 assists in the 99 games that he has played for the franchise.
