Cristiano Ronaldo set to sign new two-year contract at Al-Nassr
CRISTIANO RONALDO IS close to agreeing a new two-year deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old Portugal captain's deal was due to expire at the end of June. Advertisement Ronaldo posted on social media 'the chapter is over' following Al-Nassr's final league game of the season last month, fuelling speculation that he was to leave the Riyadh club. But it's understood that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is now set to stay in Saudi Arabia. The forward joined Al-Nassr in December 2022 as a free agent after leaving Manchester United following a controversial interview in which he criticised the Premier League club. Ronaldo has scored 99 goals in 111 appearances for Al-Nassr and netted 35 last season to win the SPL's Golden Boot award for top scorer. Al-Nassr are currently without a manager after parting company with Stefano Pioli on Wednesday. Former AC Milan and Inter boss Pioli, who was appointed in September, led Al-Nassr to a third-placed finish in the SPL last season, 13 points behind champions Al-Ittihad.
