"Hi Guys See You Soon": Ronaldo Send Special Message To Al-Nassr Fans Ahead Of Arrival In Saudi Arabia
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has signed a contract with the Riyadh-based side until 2025.
The Portuguese superstar shared a story on his Instagram for Al-Nassr fans. He said:
"Hi guys. See You Soon."
Cristiano Ronaldo has completed his move to the Saudi Arabian club in a bumper €200 million deal following his bizarre exit from Manchester United. The superstar is expected to make his debut for Al-Nassr on January 5 against Al-Tai at home or on January 15 against Al-Shabab away, as per reliable Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
Cristiano Ronaldo became a free agent with Manchester United, terminating his contract by mutual consent in November.
The Portugal international sparked controversy by giving an explosive interview to Piers Morgan ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He criticized the Red Devils in his interview, hitting out at manager Erik ten Hag as well as former manager Ralf Rangnick.
Cristiano Ronaldo also criticized club legends like Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, who used to be his teammates at the club during his first spell at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr’s market value has increased to €80 million after signing the Portuguese superstar, as reported by Saudi Arabian outlet Al-Madrij al-Nasrawi.
This is the first time Ronaldo will play his football outside Europe. He was reportedly keen to continue his football at a club in Europe. Ronaldo was reportedly offered to clubs like Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, but none of them were interested in the 37-year-old.
