Cristiano Ronaldo ends speculation by penning new Al Nassr deal
Cristiano Ronaldo has put pen-to-paper on a new contract with Al Nassr.
Reports earlier this month claimed that the Portugal international could leave the Saudi Arabian side after he tweeted out an image of himself with the caption "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written".
That post plus comments from FIFA chief Gianni Infantino that Ronaldo could play at the Club World Cup prompted a flurry of rumours.

But the former Ballon d'Or winner has now ended that speculation by penning a new deal with the Riyadh outfit to 2027.
Al-Nassr recently fired coach Stefano Pioli with Jorge Jesus being linked as his replacement.
Ronaldo finished last season as Nassr's top scorer with 35 goals in 41 appearances.

Real Madrid fans alarmed by superstar's physical transformation as he continues recovery from illness
Kylian Mbappe has had a difficult few days. Just before Real Madrid's FIFA Club World Cup clash against Al-Hilal, news broke that the French forward had been hospitalised with gastroenteritis. While the issue did not appear serious at first, things quickly took a worrying turn as his condition worsened and he needed medical care. Advertisement Although Mbappe has since been discharged and is now back in training in Miami, he is far from his usual self. He was ruled out of the match against Pachuca and looks set to miss the final group stage encounter against RB Salzburg too. In photos shared by the club, a noticeable drop in both weight and muscle mass has been seen, likely caused by the severe dehydration he experienced during his illness. Visible physical decline After spending several days out of the spotlight, Mbappe has finally reappeared in training. While he has started working out again, he is still training indoors, away from the main pitch. Advertisement The images from Real Madrid's training camp in Palm Beach clearly show that he has not yet regained his full physical shape. Even his closest circle admits the recovery process has been more challenging than expected. He was already feeling discomfort before being admitted to the hospital, and the illness took a toll on his overall strength. Now, although on the mend, Mbappe is taking things slowly to avoid any setbacks. He has been seen working in the gym alongside other first-team players, who were engaged in recovery exercises after their last match. His absence has certainly been felt. As Real Madrid's top attacking option, not having him on the pitch is a blow. However, manager Xabi Alonso remains positive. He believes in the strength of the squad and is focused on refining team tactics. The coaching staff continues to work hard and ensure the group stays sharp until Mbappe is fully fit and ready to return.

🎥 Costly mistakes galore as Juventus face Man City 🥶
That's a lot. This Thursday evening, Manchester City and Juventus are competing for the top spot in Group G on the final day of the group stage. If the show is currently on point with three goals in the first half, it's partly thanks to major errors by Ederson and Pierre Kalulu. Advertisement The Citizens' goalkeeper first completely missed his clearance, allowing Juventus to equalize two minutes after Manchester City's goal. Then it was Pierre Kalulu who unfortunately stood out just before the half-hour mark.
