However, at the moment a contract extension is not the priority for both parties. The main target is to win the Saudi Pro League ahead of current table toppers Al Hilal this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo Escapes Potential Injury As Al Nassr’s Captain Suffers From Back Pain Against Al Akhdoud

Al Nassr is currently 2nd in the Saudi Pro League table. They are currently 1 point behind leaders Al Hilal. Al Hilal has also played one game less than Cristiano Ronaldo’s team. The Blue Waves are also yet to lose a single game in the Saudi league. This is a big challenge for the Portuguese and the rest of the team.

However, they have two advantages in terms of availability. Brazilian star Neymar will certainly miss the rest of the season. Whereas, forward Aleksandr Mitrovic also has an injury issue due to consistent knee pain. This would provide Al Nassr the best chance to leapfrog to the top of the table during the busy schedule this month and the next month.
