Cristiano Ronaldo Signs For Saudi Team Al Nassr

The Saudi club Al Nassr now has Cristiano Ronaldo as a member.

The renowned Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo has joined the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, the group revealed on social media on Friday.

"History in the making," the team tweeted alongside a photo of Ronaldo holding up a yellow No. 7 Al Nassr jersey. This is a signing that will motivate not just our team to further its success but also our league, our country, and the next generation of young people—both boys and girls—to strive to be the best versions of themselves.

Welcome to Al Nassr FC, Cristiano, your new team.

The 37-year-old, who was a free agent and immediately available due to his high-profile breakup with Manchester United last month, did not need to wait for the January transfer window to open to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Rumors had been swirling since his departure from Manchester that he was close to signing with a club in Saudi Arabia—something he had previously denied.

Just prior to the commencement of the World Cup, Ronaldo spoke with Piers Morgan on TalkTV about how he felt betrayed by United and how he had no regard for manager Erik ten Hag.

The 37-year-second old's stint at the club began when Ronaldo left United.

Before joining Real Madrid in 2009, he captured three Premier League championships, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, and the first of his five Ballon d'Or trophies.

Ronaldo's return to United from Juventus was welcomed with great fanfare by the club's supporters last year, but his second stint at Old Trafford did not prove to be as successful as his first because United finished the previous season without winning any trophies.

Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cups despite Portugal's dismal performance in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
