After signing a two-year contract with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered his first words in Saudi Arabia this Friday, December 30, 2022.
This time, there is no room for doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo (37) has indeed left Europe, heading to Saudi Arabia and Al-Nassr.
The Saudi training put an end to the suspense of this boiling CR7 file this Friday evening by indicating, through a press release, the signing of the Portuguese striker until June 2025.
After refusing a golden bridge (€350m) erected by Al-Hilal last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo has this time taken the plunge by agreeing to join Rudi Garcia, in particular, in Riyadh.
The former Real Madrid star, free since the termination of his contract with Manchester United a few weeks ago, should receive nearly 200 million euros during his stay in Saudi Arabia.
An astronomical amount that will make him, whatever happens, the highest paid footballer on the planet in the coming months.
While waiting to know his justifications, the former Juventus striker delivered his first words in the Gulf.
“I am excited at the idea of discovering a new championship in a different country, first dropped CR7 on the press release announcing the big news of the day, before continuing. The sporting vision of the Al-Nassr club is very ambitious, and I am motivated to get to know my new teammates to help the team and achieve great successes.”
This is clear, at least to begin with. Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet finished talking about him in the world of football.
