Retirement cancelled? Ronaldo wants two more years at Al Nassr and makes a request about João Félix
Is Cristiano Ronaldo reconsidering retirement? Just months after suggesting that his career was approaching its end, the Portuguese superstar has been linked with a remarkable change of plans. He reportedly wants to remain at Al Nassr for two more seasons and keep João Félix alongside him.
Details: On November 9, the TCR account claimed that Ronaldo wants another two years at Al Nassr and hopes Félix will extend his contract for the same period. The captain's main ambition is reportedly to win the AFC Champions League Elite. However, the post cited no primary source, and neither player has officially confirmed a new agreement.
The claim represents a striking reversal of recent reports. In August, Ronaldo told Vogue that the 2026/27 campaign would probably be his last. On November 6, Dailysports reported that he was considering leaving Al Nassr in summer 2027. His current contract expires that June, meaning another two seasons would potentially keep him playing until 2029.
Félix's future is also uncertain. He joined Al Nassr from Chelsea in 2025 and has a contract until 2027. Earlier reports suggested the Saudi club could activate an extension until 2029, while the player has publicly expressed a desire to return to European football someday. His partnership with Ronaldo therefore remains important, but a new deal is not confirmed.
It's worth noting that Ronaldo has played for Al Nassr since January 2023 and has yet to win Asia's premier club competition. The team is participating in the AFC Champions League Elite this season. At 41, the Portuguese forward still has that trophy to pursue, but a contract beyond 2027 remains speculation.
Reminder: Interesting gesture! Airline honors Ronaldo in an unusual way after his departure from the national team.
