Cristiano Ronaldo is 40 and still scoring at a high level in Saudi Arabia. The star striker has signed a new deal with Al-Nassr that will keep him there past his 42nd birthday. This means his time in Europe is now seen as closed, regardless of the interest from fans who want to see him back.

Ronaldo has won two Golden Boots in the Saudi Pro League and has stayed sharp for the Portugal squad. His focus is on the next World Cup and achieving his dream of scoring 1,000 career goals. Each match in Saudi Arabia is a step toward that goal.

The chance of a European return has faded. Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen said clubs could not match Ronaldo’s high wages. He explained that Bayern Munich showed some interest, but no team took the risk.

Ronaldo’s story in Europe was written at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. His final stage is now set in Saudi Arabia.
