Cristiano Ronaldo has received a contract offer from Al-Nassr's city rivals Al-Hilal, according to a report.
The Portuguese legend seemingly confirmed on Monday evening that he will depart Al-Nassr when his contract expires this summer. “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all,” Ronaldo posted on his social media channels after the final game of the season.
It is fair to say that the 40-year-old's sojourn to Saudi Arabia has not been quite what he expected. Al-Nassr failed to seriously challenge for major silverware, and the 2023 edition of the Arab Club Champions Cup is the only tangible success Ronaldo has tasted in the Middle East.

Despite his advanced age, Ronaldo has no intention of retiring. He recently joked that he is going to play for 'another 10 years' after data from fitness company Whoop suggested that he has a 'biological age of just 28.9.'
Be that as it may, it is clear that Ronaldo intends to keep playing at least until the 2026 World Cup. It initially seemed as though he would remain at Al-Nassr, but another disappointing season has cast major doubt on their ability to retain him.
Al-Hilal want Ronaldo
Al-Nassr's campaign is already over as they did not qualify for FIFA's revamped Club World Cup, but the federation's president Gianni Infantino recently suggested that Ronaldo could yet take part in the tournament, clearly hinting at an impending transfer.
Ronaldo has been linked with various teams in recent weeks, including Wydad Casablanca and Botafogo. However, Foot Mercato now reports that he is also considering a hugely controversial move.
It is claimed that Ronaldo still has not formally rejected Al-Nassr's contract offer and that he also has a deal on the table from city rivals Al-Hilal. The latter have been much more successful in recent years, although they too are coming off a disappointing season.
Al-Nassr's Riyadh rivals will actually participate in the Club World Cup, and after offloading Neymar in January, they are looking to make a statement signing before the tournament starts.
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes, who has been given a 72-hour decision deadline, and Victor Osimhen are two other players they are in talks with. The report suggests that agreeing a salary with Ronaldo won't be an issue, but the megastar is still unsure about remaining in Saudi Arabia.
