Cristiano Ronaldo has completed his transfer to the Saudi Arabian team. Al-Nassr, becoming the latest high-profile footballer to join the league. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who had been without a club since leaving Manchester United in November, has signed a lucrative £175million-a-year contract with the club. Ronaldo’s move to a team outside of Europe marks a new chapter in the Portuguese superstar’s career, with fans in the UK and USA unable to watch him in action due to a lack of TV coverage.
Al-Nassr is currently second in the Saudi Professional League and will be hoping Ronaldo can fire them to the top of the table. The former Manchester United star has a wealth of experience at the highest level, having won the Champions League on five separate occasions and league titles in England, Spain, and Italy. Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr is likely to be the final chapter of his career, and the Portuguese star will be hoping to add to his already impressive trophy haul during his time in the Middle East. It remains to be seen how Ronaldo will adjust to his new surroundings, but all eyes will be on him as he embarks upon a new challenge in the Middle East.
