Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Al Nassr is up in the air after his contract extension talks were reportedly "put on hold."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was expecting to sign a new two-year deal this summer, but another underwhelming season has thrown a spanner in the works.

According to Marca, negotiations over a new deal were put on hold following Al-Nassr's 3-2 Saudi Pro League loss to Al-Ittihad in midweek, mere days after their AFC Champions League semi-final exit to Kawasaki Frontale.

The report states Ronaldo was expecting to sign a two-year extension but these poor results have given the 40-year-old pause for thought.

Ronaldo has been the face of the Saudi Pro League since he signed for Al-Nassr from Manchester United in early 2023 but his team's failure to win a trophy yet again could make the Portugal international rethink his future.

The report adds that Ronaldo's frustration at the situation has left Al-Nassr pondering their options over a renewal, with a switch to another Saudi side not ruled out.
