Cristiano Ronaldo is close to agreeing a new contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, Saudi sources have told BBC Sport.
The 40-year-old Portugal captain鈥檚 deal was due to expire at the end of June, but sources indicate a two-year extension is close to being finalised.
Ronaldo posted on social media 鈥渢he chapter is over鈥 following the Riyadh club鈥檚 final Saudi Pro League game of the season last month, leading to speculation he was set to leave.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino then raised the prospect of him joining a team involved at the Club World Cup after Al-Nassr鈥檚 failure to qualify for the extended tournament which is being held in the United States.
Ronaldo said he had received offers from participating teams but had turned them down.
Having helped Portugal win the Uefa Nations League two weeks ago, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward appears to have decided to stay in Saudi Arabia, and is said to be considering making his own sports investments in the Gulf nation.
