The King has spoken β but not with words alone.
After scoring his 936th career goal in Al Nassrβs final Saudi League match of the 2024/25 season, Cristiano Ronaldo left fans stunned β not just by his performance, but by a chilling post-match message that now echoes across the globe:
> π£οΈ βThis chapter has closed. My story is still being written again. Thank you everyone.β
β½ The match: Al Nassr fell 2-3 to Al Fateh in heartbreaking fashion, surrendering a late lead in the last 10 minutes. Despite the loss, Ronaldo found the net with a trademark header in the 42nd minute, finishing the season with 25 league goals, clinching the Golden Boot once again β for the second straight year.
π Yet the team ended in third place, trophyless, and far behind rivals Al Ittihad and Al Hilal β a bitter disappointment for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who joined the club in January 2023 with dreams of dominating Asia.
π₯ In 111 appearances for Al Nassr, CR7 scored 99 goals β an astonishing strike rate. But now, with his contract expiring in June, the club wants a renewal at reduced terms, while two offers β including one from rivals Al Hilal β have landed on his table.
π The twist? FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently suggested that Ronaldo could play at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, and Al Hilal β who have qualified β may give him the stage he cravesβ¦ potentially alongside Real Madrid.
π The world is now watching: Will CR7 renew, switch sides in Saudi Arabia, or make one last blockbuster return to Europe or even MLS?
One thing is certain β Cristiano Ronaldoβs story is far from over. But Al Nassrβs chapter may a
lready be closed.
