Details: According to Nicolo Schira, Al-Nassr is eager to keep Cristiano Ronaldo and is prepared to offer him a new contract. The specifics - salary and duration - remain undisclosed for now.

However, considering Ronaldo’s expressed desire to play in the 2026 World Cup, consistent game time is essential, and with no other offers on the table and favorable conditions, he could very well remain with Al-Nassr for at least another season.

It is worth noting that if Ronaldo participates in the 2026 World Cup, he will become the first player to compete in six World Cups. Incidentally, Lionel Messi could achieve the same feat under similar circumstances.
