Ronaldo also took to his social media channels last month with a cryptic message that read: “This is chapter is over. The story? Still being written.” The post further fuelled rumours of a departure.
However, speaking after his second-half equaliser for Portugal which contributed to their Nations League triumph over Spain on Sunday night, Ronaldo indicated he will be staying at Al Nassr.
