As per the reports from Marca, discussions regarding a new contract have been suspended following Al-Nassr's 3-2 defeat to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, which occurred just days after their exit in the AFC Champions League semi-finals against Kawasaki Frontale. The report indicates that Ronaldo was anticipating a two-year extension, but the recent unfavourable results have prompted the 40-year-old to reconsider his options.
