Cristiano Ronaldo just finished another bittersweet campaign with Al Nassr. Although the Portuguese legend got the single-season record for most goals in the 2023-2024 Saudi Pro League with 35, it wasn’t enough to hoist a trophy.

Cristiano is 39-years old and, considering the frustration he expressed on the field with no titles to show for, many fans started to wonder if his future in Saudi Arabia could be in jeopardy. Now, there’s an answer to solve the mystery.

ā€œIt’s going to be quite challenging, but it’s about assessing my mental state and motivation. If, physically, my legs treat me as well as I treat them…we’ll see. It’s a step-by-step process. Before reaching 1 000, you have to reach 900 first. I believe I’ll achieve it.ā€
