Cristiano Ronaldo has done it again. Just weeks after hinting at leaving, the football legend signed a jaw-dropping new contract with Al-Nassr, locking in his stay till 2027.
The new deal? It’s absolutely massive. Cristiano Ronaldo is now set to earn more than Rs 2000 crore per year, making it one of the most expensive player contracts in football history.

But that changed fast. Al-Nassr confirmed Ronaldo’s stay on social media, and the details of the new contract are even more mind-blowing than expected.

Why Saudi Wants Ronaldo to Stay
Ronaldo is more than just a player in Saudi Arabia. Since he joined in 2023, he’s become the face of Saudi football.
A source from Saudi’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) told AFP:
“Ronaldo opened the door for elite players to come here.”
And it’s true. After Ronaldo’s move, stars like Benzema, Kante, and Neymar followed.
A Big Win for Al-Nassr and Saudi Football
Even though Al-Nassr hasn’t won a league title with Ronaldo yet, the club and country are clearly all-in. They see him as a long-term asset, not just a short-term star.
And now, with Ronaldo staying till 2027, the Saudi Pro League continues its bold push to become a global football hub.
