Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new contract with Al Nassr, extending his stay until June 2027.
This move supports his goal of playing at the 2026 World Cup and reflects a strong belief in Saudi football’s expanding global ambition. His decision is clear and forward-looking.
The extension adds one year to his original agreement, previously ending in 2025. Reports confirm this new timeline, though further renewals remain possible.
What makes this deal special is the ownership component. Ronaldo will now hold a 5% stake in Al Nassr.
This new position gives him authority both on the field and in the club’s executive matters. It is a groundbreaking development in player-club relations.
He will earn close to €200 million yearly through combined salary and stake benefits. That amount secures his status as the highest-paid athlete globally.
Each month, his income reportedly exceeds €15 million. That level of return is unmatched in football today.

Beyond his wages, Ronaldo will now participate in decisions around team building, transfers, and squad strategy.
Al Nassr is responding in kind by strengthening its squad. The club wants to remain dominant in the Saudi Pro League and raise its game on the continental stage. Ronaldo is at the core of that plan.
With this contract, Ronaldo also becomes a global face for Al Nassr. His influence now extends to commercial partnerships and branding across continents.
His form on the field remains strong. Ronaldo has scored 81 goals in just 90 games since joining Al Nassr.
This output is unmatched for a player of his age. His influence in both sporting and commercial terms remains highly significant.
Al Nassr, in turn, is investing not just in a player but in a brand, a strategist, and a voice in football diplomacy.
Together, they are reshaping what a top-tier football contract looks like in today’s game.
