Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that he could leave Al-Nassr after announcing that “a chapter is closed” hours after the end of the Saudi Pro League.

The 40-year-old Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in 2022 from Manchester United, and his contract in Saudi Arabia expires this summer.

A special transfer window will be open from June 1 to 10 to allow the 32 clubs participating in the Club World Cup to sign new players.

“This chapter is over,” Ronaldo wrote cryptically on social media, posting a photo with the Al-Nassr team.

“The story? It's still being written. I am grateful to everyone,” added the former Real Madrid and Juventus striker.

Al-Nassr missed out on the Asian Champions League after losing to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale in the semi-finals in April and finished third in the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo finished as the league's top scorer with 24 goals.

Last year, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said he could end his career at the Saudi club. | BGNES, AFP
