Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the 2024-25 Roshn Saudi League Fans' Player of the Season. This announcement comes nearly two months after the season concluded.
Despite some fan criticism due to Al-Nassr finishing third in the league and failing to win any trophies, Ronaldo secured the award based on his outstanding individual performances. He received 15 Man of the Match awards and finished as the league's top scorer with 25 goals in 30 games.
Following uncertainty about his future, the 40-year-old recently signed a two-year contract extension with Al-Nassr. The club subsequently appointed a new head coach, Jorge Jesus (formerly of Al-Hilal), on July 14. Reports indicate Ronaldo significantly influenced his fellow Portuguese manager's decision to accept the role.
Ronaldo's impact at Al-Nassr over two seasons is substantial, with 93 goals and 19 assists in 105 appearances across all competitions. He now has 938 career goals and aims to reach, or come close to, the 1,000-goal milestone during his new contract. Achieving this would mean playing until age 42 by the 2026-27 season. His performances show no signs of decline, and he also aims to win the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr in the coming seasons.
