Cristiano Ronaldo Bids Farewell to Al-Nassr: “This Chapter Is Over”

Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the end of his time at Al-Nassr with a heartfelt message on social media. Fans and the football world are eager to see what he will do next.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On May 26, 2025, the Portuguese star posted a mysterious message on Instagram: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.” This was after Al-Nassr’s final game of the Saudi Pro League season, a 3-2 home loss to Al-Fateh. Ronaldo scored in what now appears to be his last game for the team. His contract ends on June 30, 2025, but no renewal has been announced. His future at the club is now uncertain.

RONALDO’S IMPACT AT AL-NASSR

Ronaldo’s arrival in the Saudi Pro League in January 2023 changed football in the region. Over two and a half seasons, he scored an amazing 99 goals in 111 games, including 25 this season. Despite his success in scoring and attracting global attention to the league, Al-Nassr finished third this year. They did not win major trophies, as the league now uses a playoff system and top honors escaped them.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR RONALDO AND AL-NASSR?

Ronaldo’s departure leaves Al-Nassr looking for a new star as they get ready for the next Saudi Pro League season, starting in August. The team finished this season third, several points behind champions Al-Hilal and just above fourth-placed Al-Ittihad. Meanwhile, rumors grow about Ronaldo’s next destination, with fans around the world waiting for news. At 40 years old, he is still one of football’s most talked-about figures, and everyone is watching for his next move.
