In May FIFA president Gianni Infantino revealed "discussions" were in place to ensure the 40-year-old could move to a club competing at this summer's Club World Cup that begins this Sunday.
Ronaldo also took to his social media channels last month with a cryptic message that read: "This is chapter is over. The story? Still being written." The post further fuelled rumours of a departure.
However, speaking after his second-half equaliser for Portugal which contributed to their Nations League triumph over Spain on Sunday night, Ronaldo indicated he will be staying at Al Nassr.
"Future? Nothing will change. Al Nassr? Yes," the forward said.
Ronaldo joined the Saudi Pro League side in December 2022 after a second spell at United ended in controversy following an interview in which he criticised the Premier League club.
His contract in Riyadh was due to expire this summer.
