Cristiano Ronaldo, without a club since the termination of his contract with Manchester United at the end of November, has signed up for 2 and a half years, until June 2025, with Al-Nassr.
“I can’t wait to discover a new football league in a different country”said the 37-year-old Portuguese, quoted on his new club’s Twitter account and posing with his new jersey, yellow and blue, stamped with his usual number 7.
A staggering salary
The transfer of the former Real Madrid striker, top scorer in the history of the Champions League, is one of the most resounding in history by the staggering amount of salary, estimated at 200 million euros over 2 and a half years, and because it highlights an unknown Saudi Arabian championship.
Al-Nassr, trained since July by Frenchman Rudi Garcia, has won 9 Saudi Arabian league titles, the last in 2019.
