Cristiano Ronaldo to LEAVE Al-Nassr?! Superstar puts contract talks on hold after seeing Saudi club again fail to deliver silverware with 40-year-old ready to play until he scores 1,000 goals

According to Marca, negotiations over a new deal were put on hold following Al-Nassr's 3-2 Saudi Pro League loss to Al-Ittihad in midweek, mere days after their AFC Champions League semi-final exit to Kawasaki Frontale. The report states Ronaldo was expecting to sign a two-year extension but these poor results have given the 40-year-old pause for thought.

Ronaldo has been the face of the Saudi Pro League since he signed for Al-Nassr from Manchester United in early 2023 but his team's failure to win a trophy yet again could make the Portugal international rethink his future. The report adds that Ronaldo's frustration at the situation has left Al-Nassr pondering their options over a renewal, with a switch to another Saudi side not ruled out.

Ronaldo has repeatedly stated his desire to score 1,000 goals in competitive matches before retiring from football, with the veteran currently on 934.

Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, who have dropped outside the AFC Champions League qualification spaces into fourth, travel to Al-Akhdoud in their next match on Monday.
