The 40-year-old appeared to confirm he was leaving Al-Nassr soon after their final game of the Saudi Pro League season, when he said, "This chapter is over". However, Foot Mercato claim the forward will stay at Al-Nassr, a 'full agreement' is in place between both parties, and Saudi sources state he has already extended his contract.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ronaldo sent shockwaves around the footballing world when he made those comments on social media, leading to a deluge of interest from clubs wishing to sign him. But if these reports come true, this would be quite the U-turn from the former Real Madrid star - who still has no plans to retire just yet.
DID YOU KNOW?
The report adds that while the length of the contract has not been revealed, former Manchester United ace Ronaldo is 'expected' to remain with Al-Nassr until 2027 - by which time he will be 42. For now, his current terms expire at the end of June so there is still time for a deal to be struck.

WHAT NEXT?
All eyes will be on whether or not Ronaldo, who has been linked with sides who are in this summer's Club World Cup in the United States, does stay at Al-Nassr or if he will make one last move in his glittering career.
