Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr in early 2023 was one of the biggest football stories in recent years. The Portuguese legend joined the Saudi club with high expectations, and since then, he has made a huge impact both on and off the field. Ronaldo quickly became the main goal scorer for Al Nassr and helped raise the profile of the Saudi Pro League around the world.
In his time with Al Nassr, Ronaldo has been scoring goals almost every game. He has smashed several records, including becoming the club’s all-time top scorer in a short period.

Last season, he was the league’s top scorer again and played a key role in Al Nassr winning the Arab Club Champions Cup. Despite being 40 years old, he has shown his fitness and skill, playing many important matches. However, the club has started managing his playing time more carefully to keep him in good shape for longer.
After the 2024-25 season ended, there were rumors about Ronaldo possibly leaving Al Nassr. He shared a message on social media that made fans wonder if he was thinking about his future. But soon enough, those rumors were put to rest when Ronaldo signed a new contract extension with the club that keeps him there until 2027. This shows he is still committed to playing in Saudi Arabia and helping the team succeed.
As for when Ronaldo will play again, the Saudi Pro League usually takes a break during the summer months and comes back in August. Ronaldo has been resting after a busy season with Al Nassr and playing for Portugal in international matches. He is expected to return to training with the team ahead of the new season and should be ready to play from the first league game, likely scheduled for early or mid-August 2025.
Ronaldo's Al Nassr will be in action against Jeddah in the King's Cup on September 21, and as of now, that is the possible return date for the Portugal star in Al Nassr colours.
