Portuguese football megastar Cristiano Ronaldo is likely calling time on his stay at Al-Nassr, the Saudi Pro League club he had joined in 2023.
"This chapter is over," Ronaldo said in a post on social media platform Instagram after the 2024-25 Saudi Pro League season concluded.
"The story? Still being written," he added, indicating he will still continue as a professional footballer.
Ronaldo left Manchester United in 2022 and joined the Saudi club, bringing worldwide media attention to football in Saudi Arabia.
He has scored 74 goals in his 77 appearances for the side.
Recently there were rumours that CR7 was on his way to Morocco's Wydad Casablanca on a transfer from Al-Nassr.
However, they are not in talks for the deal, news agency Reuters has confirmed.
Spanish outlet Marca reported that Wydad were hoping to sign five-times Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo to lead their attack at the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States and starts next month.
"It was just a friendly talk between Wydad's president and an agent close to Ronaldo, without going beyond informal discussions," a source told Reuters.
In other news, Ronaldo topped Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid athletes for the third consecutive year and the fifth time in his career.
