New Delhi: Cristiano Ronaldo dropped a cryptic post on his social media handle on Monday indicating that he could leave Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr hours after the league finished. The 40-year-old Portugal icon joined Al-Nassr in 2022 from Manchester United and his contract in Saudi Arabia ends this summer.
Despite notching up his 800th club goal of his career, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner failed to prevent a 2-3 loss for his side against Al-Fateh in the season-ending match. With 70 points in their kitty, Al Nassr finished third on the SPL standings, 13 behind league winners Al-Ittihad and five behind second-placed Al-Hilal.
‘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 attacker added.

Al-Nassr missed out on the Asian Champions League Elite after losing to Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale in April’s semi-finals and were third in the Saudi Pro League. Last year, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who ended as the league’s top goal scorer on 24 winning the golden boot second year in a row, said that he could end his career with the Saudi club. Meanwhile, a special transfer window will run from June 1 to 10 allowing the 32 clubs involved in the Club World Cup to sign players.
The legendary player is said to be in talks with a few clubs over a switch ahead of the beginning of the Club World Cup. Earlier, FIFA president Gianni Infantino had suggested that Ronaldo might indeed feature in the Club World Cup, hitting of a deal between the footballer and a few interested clubs.
