Cristiano Ronaldo scored Monday in the Saudi Pro League‘s season finale, a match that could mark his final appearance for Al Nassr.

Shortly after the game, the Portuguese superstar posted a picture of himself in his Al Nassr jersey, accompanied by a message: “This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Thanks to all.”

Ronaldo, whose current contract is set to expire in June, concluded the Saudi Pro League season as its top scorer with 25 goals. However, Al Nassr missed out on securing a spot in next season’s prestigious AFC Champions League.

The former Real Madrid and Manchester United striker has scored 937 official goals in his career and 801 at club level.

Last week, reports stated that Ronaldo had received a tempting offer from an unnamed Brazilian club, which would grant him the possibility of playing at the Club World Cup.
