Ben Jacobs: Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to depart Al Nassr in the summer of 2027

 According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to leave Al Nassr in the summer of 2027, and retirement is not out of the question.

Ben Jacobs stated that Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to leave Al Nassr in the summer of 2027, and retirement is not ruled out. Even if he chooses to extend his contract for another year, Saudi Arabia has already begun planning to avoid a significant decline in the global attention of the Saudi professional league after his eventual departure. One option is for Ronaldo to remain in Saudi Arabia as a club owner, increasing his current 15% stake in Al Nassr.

The 40-year-old Ronaldo has made 20 appearances for Al Nassr in all competitions this season, starting 20 times, contributing 17 goals and 3 assists. Al Nassr is currently second in the Saudi league, seven points behind Al Hilal.
