Saudi league officials have begun formulating clear plans for the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era at Al-Nassr, as the Portuguese star is nearing the announcement of his retirement from football in the coming years.

Attention within the corridors of sports decision-making is focused on finding ways to ensure Ronaldo's continued presence in the Saudi football scene, whether through administrative or investment roles that maintain the global momentum of the competition.

Cristiano Ronaldo represents the most significant turning point in the modern history of the Saudi league, as his joining Al-Nassr at the beginning of 2023 opened the door for the arrival of a select group of global football stars.

The "Talk Sport" website suggested that Ronaldo might end his journey with Al-Nassr at the end of his contract in the summer of 2027, before officially announcing his retirement after a career full of achievements.

The report indicated that even if his contract is extended for an additional season, there are ready plans to mitigate the potential negative impact on the league's popularity after his departure.

The same source revealed the idea of keeping Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia as a partial owner by increasing his current 15% stake in Al-Nassr Club.

Al-Nassr Club renewed Cristiano Ronaldo's contract last summer for two seasons, extending his stay with the team until June 2027.

Ronaldo participated in 20 matches across all competitions this season, scoring 17 goals and providing 3 assists for Al Nassr.
