Cristiano Ronaldo's new Al Nassr contract could see second player leave after Jhon Duran exit

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new mammoth contract at Al Nassr but it could directly impact the futures of some of his teammates.

Ronaldo was due to be out of contact on 30 June and there were a flurry of reports suggesting that he could be set for one final career move before he hangs up his boots.

However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner put pen to paper on a lucrative new deal which will keep him with the Riyadh outfit for another two years and take him up to his 42nd birthday.

The Telegraph have listed the contract as being worth £340 million annually, with other reports claiming Ronaldo's arrangement includes a potential ambassadorial role, 16 full-time workers, £4 million for a private jet and substantial bonuses.

But not long after Ronaldo signed on the dotted line, it's emerged that former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran is set to leave the club just six months after joining.

The Colombian international signed in a £65 million switch and scored four goals in his opening three games but having earned £320,000-a-week, reports claim he is poised to return to Europe sooner than planned, with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce.

The Telegraph said "chaos" behind the scenes is a key factor for Duran's swift departure on loan.

Another Al Nassr player could leave after Cristiano Ronaldo decision

And in addition, Jonathan Liew of The Guardian has suggested that Sadio Mane could also move on this summer.

Former Liverpool forward Mane left Bayern Munich after a single season and linked up with Ronaldo at Al Nassr in 2023, scoring 37 goals in 97 appearances.

Liew claims that both Mane and Duran have "found themselves overshadowed to such an extent that both may leave this summer".

Ronaldo has scored 99 goals in Al Nassr colours and has been the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League for the past two seasons.

But he is yet to win major silverware with Al Nassr and in an new interview where he again claimed the SPL is among the best in the world, Ronaldo revealed his desperation to end the drought.

“I still believe in that goal,” he told Al Nassr's official channels.

“That’s why I renewed for two more years. I believe I will be a champion in Saudi Arabia.”

“I will stay two more years as a football player, but also for life because my contribution to this country is not only football. I want to be part of the country's growth forever."
