Al-Nassr confident Cristiano Ronaldo will FINISH his career at the club.
Al Nassr reportedly expects Cristiano Ronaldo to end his playing days with the club and hopes he can stay past the end of his current contract.
Ronaldo agreed to a contract with Al-Nassr in December that would keep him with the club until 2025, by which time he would be 40 years old.
Al-Nassr are said to be “convinced” that the Saudi Pro League side will be the Portuguese superstar’s final club before he hangs up his boots and have not discounted the possibility of Ronaldo signing an extension if he wants to carry on playing, according to ESPN.

On Sunday, the attacker made his much awaited debut for his new team in a 1-0 victory over Al-Ettifaq. The former Manchester United player didn’t score, but he did draw attention with a trick that left his defender on the ground.
Although Ronaldo’s departure to Saudi Arabia on a massive contract sparked questions, other players’ A-listers may follow. Ibrahim Alkassim, the general secretary of the Saudi Football Federation, has acknowledged that he would dearly love to see Lionel Messi emulate Cristiano Ronaldo, while Sergio Ramos has also been linked to a transfer to Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese forward and Al-Nassr are scheduled to play again on Thursday when they take on Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup.
