Ronaldo joined Al Nassr at the end of 2022 after parting ways with Manchester United and has now extended his contract with the club until 2027. The official announcement of the extension was made last Thursday.
Speaking about his goals, Ronaldo reaffirmed his commitment to winning a major title with Al Nassr.
He also revealed that he had turned down an offer to participate in the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the United States to focus on rest and preparation.
Calling the Saudi Pro League one of the world’s top five football leagues, Ronaldo predicted that the 2034 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted by Saudi Arabia, would be the most spectacular tournament in history.
He also praised the local culture and the warmth of the Saudi people, saying their kindness has further strengthened his desire to settle in the country.
