Cristiano Ronaldo is set to continue his journey with Al Nassr as he reportedly agrees to a fresh contract extension that could keep him at the Saudi club until at least 2026.

The new deal, which includes an optional second year based on performance and preference, lines up with the football legend’s goal of representing Portugal at the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Though talks have been ongoing for months—initially expected to wrap up early in the year—the unique structure of the agreement caused some delay.

Unlike a standard football contract, this extension is said to include major commercial, ambassadorial, and developmental roles for Ronaldo, making it more than just a player deal.

Sources say the new contract could be worth up to €200 million per year, reflecting Ronaldo’s massive influence both on and off the pitch.

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has thrown his support behind Paris Saint-Germain to go all the way and lift the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.

Sharing his thoughts after PSG booked a spot in the semi-finals, Cole praised the club’s new direction and team structure, saying the French side is finally on the right track to conquer Europe.

PSG edged past Aston Villa with a 5-4 win on aggregate, having secured a 3-1 victory in the first leg before losing 3-2 in the return match at Villa Park.

Next up for Luis Enrique’s side is a semi-final clash against either Arsenal or Real Madrid, while Barcelona—who knocked out Dortmund—will take on Inter Milan or Bayern Munich.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Joe Cole reflected on PSG’s past struggles in the competition and commended the club’s transformation.

He said the team no longer relies solely on star power but now plays as a unit, which gives them a real shot at the title.

“They’re on the right track,” he said. “I really believe they can win it this time. I’m all in.”

Arsenal player Mikel Merino reveals his favorite Real Madrid player. While speaking to the press after the team’s win, the player answered and shared his best player in Real Madrid.

“They are all top-level players, I love them all, but the one I like the most, and I have already said I’d like to play with him, is Rodrygo.”

“He is very good technically, he plays very well between the lines, he moves into space well.”

“I really like watching him play. He is a profile that any midfielder would like to play with.”
