• Cristiano Ronaldo wants to extend his contract with Al-Nassr

• Ronaldo’s current Al-Nassr deal is set to run until 2025

Cristiano Ronaldo has made a plea to Al-Nassr regarding the extension of his current contract with them until 2027.

The 38-year-old forward became the highest-paid footballer in the world after he signed a lucrative two-and-a-half-year deal with the Saudi Pro League giants in January, estimated to be worth £177 million per year.

According to Sportskeeda, Ronaldo reportedly plans on extending his contract with Al-Nassr for another two years, as his present deal with the Knights of Najd is set to expire in 2025.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has netted 20 goals and registered 10 assists in 22 appearances across all competitions, wants to keep playing until the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
