But his recent social media post a single picture with cryptic caption has induced many to think that his stint with the Saudi Arabian club is possibly nearing its end. There has been no statement of an extension of his contract and no word from the club or the player, so questions hang in the air regarding his future destination.
Even at 40 years of age, the Portuguese legend is far from calling it a day. He is keen on achieving a milestone of his own a 1,000th career goal. Currently, he is very close to this figure with 936 goals under his belt.

What’s Next for the Football Icon?
A number of potential destinations are waiting for Ronaldo. There was speculation about move to Major League Soccer (MLS) would have him joined by his longtime competitor Lionel Messi, perhaps rekindling one of football’s greatest rivalries on US soil. Alternatively, Ronaldo might return to Sporting CP, the team he joined as a young player.
There is also increasing excitement surrounding next year’s FIFA Club World Cup to be held in the United States. While Al-Nassr did not make it, FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently alluded to Ronaldo possibly being included if he moves to a qualifying club before the tournament kicks off.
