  • Cristiano Ronaldo confirms he will stay with Al-Nassr and will not play in the Club World Cup.
  • Speculation about his future intensified but he reassured fans after Portugal's Nations League win.
  • Ronaldo expressed gratitude to the national team and affirmed his contract situation.

Cristiano Ronaldo has officially stated that he will remain with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, putting an end to speculation about his future. Following Portugal's victory in the Nations League final against Spain, Ronaldo remarked, "Nothing will change. Al-Nassr? Yes," affirming his commitment as he addresses rumors of a potential move despite his contract expiring at the end of June 2023, according to BBC and SCMP.

Despite receiving "quite a few" offers to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, Ronaldo has opted not to play in the tournament slated for June in the United States. He mentioned on Saturday, “It’s something that’s practically decided on my part, which is not to go to the Club World Cup,” a decision that surprised many, especially FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who had suggested Ronaldo could contribute significantly to a team in the competition, according to Channel News Asia and Africa News.

Ronaldo's latest performance includes scoring pivotal goals in Portugal’s recent matches, which contributed to his nation’s success in the tournament. He scored the equalizer against Spain, which led to a penalty shootout, and has now secured his record-extending 138th international goal. His performance was described as decisive, showcasing that he continues to play a key role for his national team, as highlighted by coach Robert Martinez, according to Africa News and SCMP.
