Cristiano Ronaldo's 2023/24 season in Saudi Arabia saw the Portuguese mega-star end the campaign with 50 goals scored in 51 games across all competitions.
However, the 39-year-old missed out on the Saudi Pro League title, in his first full season in the Middle East. The former Manchester United star will be aiming to change that in 2025 and his goals will be vital to their title charge.
Ronaldo's current contract in Riyadh expires at the end of the 2024/25 season and he faces a key call on his next career step.
Whatever his future has in store, Ronaldo will be determined to keep on firing, as he pushes to break the 1,000-goal mark before retirement.

Cristiano Ronaldo goals for Al Nassr 2024/25
After setting the record for goals in a Saudi Pro League last season, Ronaldo has followed that up with another strong start to competitive action in the 2024/25 campaign. As of his last goal in the 2-1 victory over Al Rayyan in AFC Champions League play on September 30, Ronaldo now has eight goals in nine games across all competitions.
Ronaldo scored in Al Nassr's two Saudi Super Cup games, with one each in their semifinal and final. However, his struggles to lift a trophy in Saudi Arabia continued as Al Nassr lost out to rivals Al Hilal in the final.
He marked his first league game of the season with a goal in the 1-1 draw with Al Raed before coolly dispatching a free-kick in a 4-1 victory at Al Feiha, moving on to 899 career goals. Two goals in as many games for Portugal in the international break took him past that incredible career landmark but Ronaldo drew a blank as Al Nassr snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw at home to Al Ahli.
After missing their AFC Champions League opener against Al Shorta due to illness, he returned with a bang by scoring against Al Ettifaq in Saudi Pro League play and he netted again in each of his next three games, two from the penalty spot, to usher in October.
