JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo hinted that he would appear in the 2026 World Cup. This follows the extension of the contract he wanted at Al Nassr until 2027.

Ronaldo first joined Al Nassr in early 2023 and immediately showed sharpness. Until the beginning of this season the star has even scored 25 goals and eight assists in 30 matches that have been played.

With his still bright appearance, Ronaldo is said to want to extend his contract at Al Nassr until 2027. This rumor confirms that the mega star's signal is still ambitious to appear at the 2026 World Cup.

"Cristiano wanted to play in the 2026 World Cup when he was still a Al Nassr player and then he would announce his retirement from football," wrote Saudi Arabian journalist Al Harbi quoted from the Daily Mail on Wednesday, October 11.

Ronaldo's contract at Al Nassr itself is actually valid until 2025. CR7 will continue to play football until he is 42 years old if it is true that it has signed a new contract with the Saudi Arabian club.

Throughout his career Ronaldo has received many prestigious titles in the world, both for individuals and clubs. The only prestigious title that is still lacking in Ronaldo's career is the World Cup trophy.

Even though the former Manchester United and Real Madrid players have appeared in the World Cup five times with the Portugal national team. The opportunity was obtained from the 2006 World Cup to 2022.

Ronaldo's best record at the World Cup is breaking through the 2006 World Cup semifinals. At that time Portugal lost to France and buried his dream of appearing in the final.
