Overview

  • Ronaldo posted “This chapter is over” after Al-Nassr’s season finale and has declined a reported £167 million-per-year extension, signaling he will depart when his contract ends on June 30.
  • Al-Nassr are expected to announce his exit imminently and are already scouting replacements, with Liverpool’s Luis Díaz among the potential targets.
  • The kingdom’s Public Investment Fund is engaged in challenging negotiations to keep Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, including proposals to transfer him to PIF-owned Al-Hilal or Al-Ahli.
  • FIFA president Gianni Infantino has indicated that Ronaldo could join one of the 32 teams in the expanded Club World Cup, with a special transfer window opening June 1–10 to facilitate such moves.
  • Despite winning consecutive Saudi Pro League Golden Boots and scoring 99 goals in 111 games, Ronaldo leaves without a major team trophy, highlighting his individual success amid Al-Nassr’s title drought.
