Cristiano Ronaldo is aiming to shake the foundations of world football by pursuing an extraordinary milestone—becoming the first player in the modern era to reach 1,000 career goals. Currently sitting on 934 goals, the Portuguese superstar still needs 66 more to realize this dream. However, the consistency required to achieve it may be slipping away, largely due to his club Al Nassr’s recent struggles.
The situation in the Saudi Pro League is far from ideal for Ronaldo. A recent defeat to Al Ittihad has pushed Al Nassr down to fourth in the league standings. They were also eliminated in the semifinals of the AFC Champions League. These repeated setbacks have only added to Ronaldo’s growing frustration.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2023 on a high-profile deal, with expectations that he would not only transform the club but also revolutionize the league. Despite delivering on a personal level, he has yet to win a single trophy with the team. The lack of team success has reportedly caused him to reflect seriously on his future. While several Saudi clubs have already approached him with new offers, Ronaldo is not ruling out a move. In fact, he has shown reluctance to renew his current contract with Al Nassr.
If Ronaldo truly hopes to hit the 1,000-goal mark, he’ll need more matches, more competitions, and most importantly, a team capable of delivering consistent success—all of which appear difficult to achieve under Al Nassr’s current trajectory.
So, with the dream of 1,000 goals burning bright, will CR7 switch clubs to keep it alive?
