Cristiano Ronaldo Extends Al Nassr Contract Until 2027
Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has extended his contract with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr until 2027. The football club announced on Thursday, June 26, saying, "Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027." Ronaldo has made 93 goals in 105 appearances with the club after joining it in 2023. The announcement came after Ronaldo posted in May a picture of himself in the Al Nassr kit on social media, saying, "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all." There were speculations that Ronaldo would join CF Monterrey, Al Hilal, and his boyhood club, Sporting CP; however, he has decided to stay with the Saudi FC. As Ronaldo continues to chase the milestone of 1,000 career goals—currently standing at 936—Saudi fans are happy to know he will do so with Al Nassr.

Jumping ship? Jesus in talks with Al-Hilal's rivals
Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus is in negotiations to take over the reins of Al Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, a club seeking a new coach after confirming the departure of Stefano Pioli, this Wednesday (25). The information comes from the website Footmercato, which points to the name of Jorge Jesus — former Al Hilal — as the main option for the Saudi board at this time. Advertisement According to the publication, the club has already started talks with the 69-year-old coach's agent to assess the possibility of a return to the country. Jesus has been without a club since he left Al Hilal, precisely one of Al-Nassr's biggest rivals, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mané, as one of the great coaches of the Saudi club. At the helm of Al-Hilal, the Portuguese coach achieved the longest winning streak in world football history, with 34 consecutive victories. In addition to his success in Arab football, Jorge Jesus is highly esteemed in Brazil for his victorious stint with Flamengo, with whom he won the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2019.
