Ronaldo will play for 200 million at Al Nassr club Saudi Arabia
Budrigannews.com – After leaving Manchester United to become a free agent, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia for two and a half years. The club made the announcement on Friday.
Following an explosive television interview in which the 37-year-old forward claimed he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo left Old Trafford last month.
Al Nassr said in a statement that the five-time Ballon D’or winner will sign a contract until 2025, but it didn’t say anything about the money. The media have estimated that Ronaldo’s contract is worth more than 214.04 million euros.
Ronaldo said in the statement, “I feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia.” He added, “I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football.”
“I’m anticipating joining my new colleagues and along with them assist the Club with making progress.”
After a glittering spell at Spanish giants Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, during which he won two LaLiga titles, two Spanish Cups, four Champions League titles, and three Club World Cups, Ronaldo will arrive in Saudi Arabia with a substantial collection of club honors.
He proceeded to score a club record multiple times no doubt and has in excess of 800 senior objectives by and large for club and country.
Ronaldo spent three years at Juventus, winning two Serie A titles and a Copa Italia trophy, before returning to United, where he had won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, and the Club World Cup.
He scored a penalty in Portugal’s first Group H match against Ghana and became the first player to score in five World Cups while playing for Portugal in Qatar. Morocco eliminated Portugal in the quarterfinals.
Ronaldo said that the World Cup in Qatar would probably be his last. He plans to retire at 40 and move to Saudi Arabia, where he will likely be one of the best current players alongside Lionel Messi.
Musalli Almuammar, president of Al Nassr Football Club, stated, “This is more than history in the making.” This acquisition will not only motivate our team to achieve even greater success but also motivate our league, our nation, and future generations.
The Saudi Arabian team, which has won nine titles in the Saudi Pro Premier League, is hoping that Ronaldo can help them win their first AFC Asian Champions League and another domestic league title.
However, the Portuguese forward will miss his first two domestic matches due to a suspension for hitting a fan with a phone during United’s April loss to Everton.
