According to the TV channel Al Arabiya, the 37-year-old forward of the Portuguese football team Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract with Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr. According to the source, the term of the agreement is two seasons.
On December 30, it was reported that the agent of the Portuguese Jorge Mendes stopped negotiations with Al-Nassr, having received a proposal from the club of the Champions League.
According to the source, Ronaldo will receive more than 200 million a year at his new club, including advertising contracts. The recruitment of a famous striker for Al-Nassr is an element of a large PR campaign to develop Saudi Arabian football and the eventual hosting of the World Cup.
Ronaldo has been a free agent since November 2022. Ronaldo's last club was Manchester United FC, where he played 16 games in the EPL and Europa League in the 2022/2023 season, scoring three times and providing two assists.
