Cristiano Ronaldo has inked a contract extension with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, ensuring that he continues his illustrious career until at least the age of 42. The Portuguese legend, and five-time Ballon d'Or winner, will carry on bringing his record-breaking aura to the field for two more years.

The announcement came through a social media post where Ronaldo expressed his enthusiasm, stating: "A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together."
