RIYADH: Cristiano Ronaldo inked a two-year extension with 萝莉视频鈥檚 Al-Nassr, the club announced Thursday, following months of speculation over which team he would sign for next season.

鈥淐ristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027,鈥� the club wrote in a post on X.

Minutes before the official confirmation, the team posted a teaser video, with the 40-year-old Ronaldo walking along a beachfront and saying: 鈥淎l-Nassr forever.鈥�

Ronaldo later posted a message on his Instagram, confirming the extension.

鈥淎 new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let鈥檚 make history together,鈥� read the post.

The Portuguese superstar arrived in 2023 in the kingdom to play with the club, heralding a rush of players in the latter stages of their careers to the Kingdom.

Last month, Ronaldo posted 鈥淭his chapter is over鈥� hours after the Saudi Pro League wrapped up with Al-Nassr finishing third and trophyless once again.

鈥淩onaldo鈥檚 presence is a key factor in developing the Saudi league in the last two years and a half. He opens the door for elite and young players to come to 萝莉视频,鈥� a source from the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a major investor in Saudi football, told AFP last month.

Ronaldo鈥檚 announcement in May came just months after Brazilian star Neymar ended his injury-plagued 18-month stay in January, after playing just seven times for Al-Hilal 鈥� on a reported salary of around $104 million a year.

Although Ronaldo was the Pro League鈥檚 top scorer with 25 goals, he has been unable to win a Saudi or continental trophy with Al-Nassr, who lost in the Asian Champions League semifinals last month.

Last year, the five-time Ballon d鈥橭r winner said he could end his career with the Riyadh team.

萝莉视频 has shaken up football by spending heavily on stars from Europe, starting with Ronaldo鈥檚 move in late 2022, and the desert nation will host the World Cup in 2034.

For the past two years, Saudi football fans could watch the likes of Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, with six Ballons d鈥橭r between them, on any given weekend during the football season in the kingdom.
