Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has sent shockwaves through the football world after hinting at his departure from Saudi club Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old superstar took to social media shortly after the conclusion of the Saudi Pro League season with a cryptic message that has fans speculating about his next move.
In a post featuring a pensive photo, Cristiano Ronaldo wrote: “The chapter is closed, but the story continues. Grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey.” This comes as his lucrative contract with Al-Nassr, which he joined in 2022 after leaving Manchester United, is set to expire in June.
Despite finishing as the league’s top scorer with 25 goals this season, Ronaldo couldn’t prevent Al-Nassr from finishing third in the standings. The club’s failure to qualify for next season’s AFC Champions League adds another layer to his potential exit.

Media reports suggest Cristiano Ronaldo has received a lucrative offer from an unnamed Brazilian club participating in next month’s FIFA Club World Cup (June 15-July 13). FIFA President Gianni Infantino further fueled speculation by hinting at Ronaldo’s possible participation in the tournament during a recent interview.
Ronaldo’s potential departure marks another turning point in his illustrious career. Having made 105 appearances and scored 99 goals for Al-Nassr, his next move could see him break new ground in another continent as he continues rewriting football history at age 40.
Fans worldwide now await official confirmation about where the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will take his talents next. Will it be Brazil, a return to Europe, or perhaps an unexpected destination? The football world holds its breath.
