Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi Arabian Saga: Can the Portuguese Legend Fire Al Nassr to Glory?
Cristiano Ronaldo's 2023/24 season in Saudi Arabia saw the Portuguese mega-star end the campaign with 50 goals scored in 51 games across all competitions.
However, the 39-year-old missed out on the Saudi Pro League title in his first full season in the Middle East. The former Manchester United star will be aiming to change that in 2025 and his goals will be vital to their title charge.
Ronaldo's current contract in Riyadh expires at the end of the 2024/25 season and he faces a key call on his next career step. It has been reported that he plans to extend his deal.
Whatever his future has in store, Ronaldo will be determined to keep on firing, as he pushes to break the 1,000-goal mark before retirement.

He has scored 23 goals in 25 club games in all competitions for Al Nassr as of February 4, with seven of those coming from the penalty spot.
Ronaldo scored in Al Nassr's two Saudi Super Cup games, with one each in their semifinal and final. However, his struggles to lift a trophy in Saudi Arabia continued as Al Nassr lost out to Al Hilal in the final.
