Cristiano Ronaldo ‘keeps reaching new heights’ – with a first 50-goal season since 2016 at Real Madrid within reach for Al-Nassr superstar

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo has not hit that mark since 2016. He was on the books of Real Madrid back then, as he plundered 450 goals for the Blancos in total and became their greatest ever marksman. CR7 went five years without reaching 40 in a single campaign after leaving Santiago Bernabeu.

He has burst back through that barrier in style this season, with Ronaldo showing no sign of slowing down at 39 years of age. With relentless dedication to his craft keeping him in the best possible shape, there is every reason to believe that the Portuguese can continue for several more years.

An extension to the most lucrative contract in world football has been mooted at Al-Nassr, with the Saudi Pro League outfit delighted to have Ronaldo’s ability and marketing appeal on their books. They believe that his game can be taken to even greater heights.

There is still a chance for Ronaldo to reach a half-century this season, as he sits on 48 goals with two more Pro League fixtures to be taken in – starting with a trip to Al-Riyadh on Thursday. Major silverware is also in his sights as Al-Nassr prepare to face arch-rivals Al-Hilal in the King Cup of Champions final.
