Cristiano Ronaldo has ignited widespread speculation about his future at Saudi club Al Nassr with a cryptic message posted on X.
Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked speculation about his Al Nassr future with a mysterious social media post following a crucial defeat that ended the club’s AFC Champions League qualification hopes.
The Portuguese superstar wrote on X late Monday: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all,” as his contract with the Saudi club nears expiration this summer. The post came hours after Al Nassr’s 3-2 loss to Al Fateh, where Ronaldo scored his 25th league goal this season – his 99th for the club – but failed to prevent defeat.
Monday’s match saw Al Nassr surrender a lead, with defensive lapses costing them vital points. The defeat mathematically ended their chances of qualifying for next season’s AFC Champions League, potentially influencing Ronaldo’s decision about his future.
While the 39-year-old hasn’t explicitly announced his departure, his message has fueled intense speculation about potential next moves, with fans and analysts debating whether he might seek a new challenge or retirement. Al Nassr officials have yet to comment on the situation.
