Ronaldo announces Al-Nassr chapter ‘over'
Paris – Portugal icon Cristiano Ronaldo indicated on Monday that he could leave Al-Nassr after declaring that a 'chapter is over' hours after the Saudi Pro League finished.
Ronaldo, 40, joined Al-Nassr in 2022 from Manchester United and his contract in Saudi Arabia ends this summer.
A special transfer window runs from June 1-10 to allow the 32 clubs involved in the Club World Cup to sign players.
'This chapter is over,' Ronaldo cryptically said on social media with a photo of him in an Al-Nassr shirt.
'The story? Still being written.
'Grateful to all,' the former Real Madrid and Juventus attacker added.
Al-Nassr missed out on the Asian Champions League Elite, losing to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale in April's semi-finals and were third in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo ended as the league's top goal scorer on 24.
Last year, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said he could end his career wit Al-Nassr.

Chinese Decision Halts Al-Ahly Negotiations with Cristiano Ronaldo
Follow-up - INA China's conditions regarding hosting the Saudi Super Cup have stalled Al-Ahly's negotiations with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now free to negotiate with any club after his contract with Al-Nassr expires at the end of the 2025 season. According to reports published by the Spanish newspaper Marca, Ronaldo expressed his desire to leave Al-Nassr after two and a half seasons during which he failed to win any official title with the team. The newspaper indicated that "Al-Nassr's loss in the AFC Champions League, in addition to its failure to qualify for the continental tournament next season, played a major role in prompting the Portuguese star to decide to change his destination." For his part, sports journalist Khaled Al-Zahrani revealed that Saudi officials had reservations about Ronaldo's move to Al-Ahly, due to the Chinese side's condition of his attendance at the Saudi Super Cup as a condition for agreeing to host it. The tournament includes Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, and Al-Qadisiyah, making Ronaldo's move to Al-Hilal more logical in light of these factors, especially since Al-Hilal is the player's preferred destination, while Al-Ahly is a second option. Despite these obstacles, Al-Zahrani confirmed that "Ronaldo remains keen to embark on a new experience in the Saudi League, preferring to move to Al-Hilal if a final agreement is reached."
