“This Chapter Is Over” – Cristiano Ronaldo Hints At Al-Nassr Departure

Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked speculations about a possible exit from Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr after posting a cryptic message on social media.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday night, Ronaldo wrote: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.”

With his contract at Al Nassr set to expire this summer, the timing of the post has added fuel to rumors that he may be on his way out.

The message came shortly after a key Saudi Pro League match on Monday, May 26, 2025, where Al Nassr lost 3-2 to Al Fateh – a defeat that ended their hopes of qualifying for the AFC Champions League.

Ronaldo scored in that game, marking his 25th goal of the season and pushing his total for the club to 99. But despite his contribution, the team couldn’t hold their lead, and defensive lapses allowed Al Fateh to take all three points.

Adding to the disappointment, rivals Al Hilal secured a win over Al Qadsiah, which officially shut the door on Al Nassr’s Champions League chances.

Now, the club’s only hope for any continental competition rests on whether Al Ittihad can win the King Cup. If they do, Al Nassr could still earn a spot in the secondary AFC tournament.

This latest setback leaves Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr in a tough spot, with fans unsure about what comes next.

Throughout his legendary career, Ronaldo has played for top clubs like Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al Nassr, while also holding records with the Portuguese national team.

He recently reached major milestones, including 900 career goals and his 1,200th professional match.

Though he’s used similar phrases before during career changes, this latest post has many wondering if he’s ready to move on once again.

As of now, neither Ronaldo nor Al Nassr has made any official statement about his future.

KanyiDaily recalls that Cristiano Ronaldo recently declared himself as the best and most complete player in the history of the sport.
