Cristiano Ronaldo, one of football’s biggest icons, seems to be loving life at Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese legend, who is in the final year of his record-breaking contract in the Saudi Pro League, recently shared with his former coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, how “happy” he is in his new surroundings.
After leaving Manchester United in 2022, Ronaldo embraced a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia. His lucrative contract, the biggest in football history, has been nothing short of a success.
Last season, Ronaldo smashed in 50 goals across all competitions and has gone beyond the 900 career goals mark this term.

For Ronaldo fans, that’s music to their ears — he seems to be thriving not just on the field but in his personal life too.
With his family by his side, and still delivering top performances for both club and country, the 39-year-old superstar may not be in a hurry to call it quits.
As speculation grows about a possible contract extension, Ronaldo’s journey in Saudi Arabia looks set to continue, and fans could see him aiming for that magical 1,000-goal milestone before thinking of retirement.
