In January 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr FC with a promise to bring championships to the team. Unfortunately, more than two years have passed, and Ronaldo has yet to fulfill his promise. In the early hours of today, Al-Nassr was held to a 1-1 draw, effectively ending Ronaldo's hopes for the league title. Before this match, Al-Nassr was ranked third in the Saudi Professional League. To catch up with the two teams ahead of them (Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad Jeddah), Ronaldo's team needed to secure victories in the coming games. Facing Al-Batin, a weaker opponent, Al-Nassr had a good chance to take all three points. However, Al-Nassr failed to capitalize on the opportunity. In the last moments of the first half, Al-Batin broke the deadlock, making it 1-0. In the second half, with no room for error, Al-Nassr pushed forward aggressively. Ronaldo made several attempts but could not find the back of the net. In the 63rd minute, Laporte scored a header, leveling the score at 1-1. Despite dominating the final 30 minutes, Al-Nassr could not score again, resulting in a 1-1 draw away from home. In their last four matches across all competitions, Al-Nassr has only won one, showing poor form. Ronaldo played the full match, attempting eight shots with three on target, both being the highest in the game. However, he could not contribute to the team's goal tally, ending his streak of scoring in six consecutive matches across competitions. Ronaldo also provided two key passes. After the match, Ronaldo received a rating of 7.5, ranking second within the…

According to multiple media reports, Al Nassr has agreed to renew their contract with Cristiano Ronaldo. On January 15th, South Korean media also followed up on the news, with Korean media satirizing that Ronaldo is now continuing to play in Saudi Arabia solely for money. South Korean media outlet "Khan" reported that the 40-year-old Ronaldo is about to reach a renewal agreement with Al Nassr, maintaining his position as the highest-paid player in the world. It is said that Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr has been extended until June 2026, with an annual salary of approximately 200 million euros (about 3 trillion won). South Korean media stated: "If the renewal is successful, Ronaldo's weekly salary will be about 57 billion won, which is equivalent to earning 8 billion won per day." Ronaldo has so far made 90 appearances for Al Nassr, scoring 81 goals. This season, Ronaldo has played 20 games for the team, contributing 17 goals and 3 assists. South Korean media reported that Ronaldo also bought a new private jet worth 50 million euros, while selling his previous private jet for 20 million euros. The newly acquired plane also cost an additional 10 million euros for customization (the total cost of the new plane is 60 million euros, about 90 billion won). South Korean media finally satirized: "When Ronaldo first joined the Saudi team, he still said that the culture was different and everything was not easy. He went there not for money, but for victory and trophies. However, at the age of 40, he has also obtained…

The first game of 2025 saw Ronaldo score again and continue to lead his team to victory. After the win, Al Nassr moved up to third place, having played one more game than others, but they still trail league leaders Al Ittihad by 8 points, making it difficult to compete for the title. After the victory, Ronaldo was in good spirits and quickly made a decision. According to an official source from Al Nassr, Ronaldo is set to complete his contract renewal with the club, which is expected to be officially announced in the coming days, although the length of the new contract has not been disclosed. Ronaldo's current contract with the club is due to end in the summer of 2025. If he does not renew his contract during the winter transfer window, he will be able to negotiate a new contract with other clubs as a free agent. For Al Nassr, this would undoubtedly be a significant loss. Ronaldo has previously stated that even though it may be challenging to compete for the league title this season, he still hopes to make a strong push for the AFC Champions League title. However, with Talisca confirmed to be leaving the team, how the team strengthens itself will affect Ronaldo's signing progress. Recent reports suggest that Al Nassr is in talks with Manchester United to bring in Casemiro and is willing to offer him a weekly salary contract worth up to 650,000 pounds. It is reported that Ronaldo is currently persuading his former Real Madrid teammate to join Al Nassr…

Cristiano Ronaldo has not lived up to expectations since joining Al-Nassr in the Saudi League. In the three years since his move, he has failed to win any titles, with the exception of the unofficial friendly match nature of the Arab Champions Trophy, which is not recognized by FIFA. This has led to significant doubts about Ronaldo's abilities. It now appears that Ronaldo has realized the difficulty of winning titles with Al-Nassr. English media outlet talkSPORT's chief journalist, Alex Crook, has reported that Ronaldo is likely to leave Al-Nassr at the end of his contract this season and join Al-Hilal, as both clubs are owned by the same person. Ronaldo is open to new challenges after his contract expires. This news comes as quite a surprise, as Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are fierce local rivals. Ronaldo's decision to move from Al-Nassr to Al-Hilal without securing a title may be hard for fans to accept. However, Al-Hilal hopes that Ronaldo can replace Neymar and become the team's iconic figure. This choice is considered wise, given Ronaldo's professional attitude and goal-scoring ability, which are significantly higher than Neymar's. It is a smart decision to rely on Ronaldo to become the team's leader. Ronaldo can also erase the shame of going three years without a title since joining the Saudi League. However, for Ronaldo, choosing to return to Europe to play after his contract expires this season might be a good option, as it would better prepare him for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
