Cristiano Ronaldo Joins Al Nassr Club
Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is now owned by Al Nassr Club in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo and club officials signed the most significant contracts of the season. The 37-year-old Cristiano signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr Club until 2025 at a ceremony held in Madrid, the Spanish capital, ending a month-long speculation. During the contract announcement, Al Nassr club officials described Ronaldo as ‘the best sports star in the world’.

Cristiano has remained free without joining any club since the cancellation of his contract with Manchester United. During the World Cup football match held in Qatar, the contract between Ronaldo and Manchester United was terminated by mutual consent. An interview given by Ronaldo severely criticizing the club, coach, and club owners led to the separation between Manchester United and Ronaldo.
“I am excited to play football in a new country and join my teammates to help the team win new trophies,” Ronaldo said via the club’s official Twitter account after signing with Al Nassr Club.
Al Nassr Club’s Acquisition and Finacial Details
Saudi Sports Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Turki Al Faisal welcomed the agreement. “The greatest man of all time is starting his new journey in Saudi Arabia, may Ronald and his family have a pleasant experience in Saudi,” he wished.
Saudi club Al Nassr has acquired Cristiano Ronaldo for 20 crore euros (Rs 1700 crore) in one season. The Saudi club offered a huge sum of money to acquire the player after he left the club after coming to the media with a public stance against the coach while the contract with Manchester United was still in place. The deal will include an initial contract of 10 crores and other revenues including advertising. Messi who gets 7.5 crores per season and Neymar who gets 7 crores are now the most expensive players. It is in his name that the Portugal captain leaves the European leagues and comes to Saudi.
Apart from Manchester United, the superstar, who has also played for Real Madrid and Juventus, remained a free agent after November 22. The transfer was easier for the star after he parted ways with United by mutual agreement.
An interview with British television presenter Piers Morgan further exacerbated the problems between Cristiano and the club. The player who openly attacked coach Ten Haag also criticized former coach Ralf Rangnik and legendary player Wayne Rooney. With this, the discomfort that came out of hiding made the team leave. The presence of the star in the Premier League has started to become irrelevant due to the very few opportunities under the new coach. As the teenager came to play, the playing time naturally decreased for the veteran player.
Ronaldo’s Performance in the Qatar World Cup
Cristiano has declared that Portugal’s goal is as high as the World Cup title. Cameroon’s Vincent Abubakar, who scored a goal against Brazil, is also a teammate of Al Nassr Club in Saudi Arabia. Brazilian star Luis Gustavo, Colombia’s David Ospina, and Spanish star Alvaro Gonzalez are also playing for Al Nassr.
So far, Ronaldo has scored one goal for Portugal. They reached the knockout stage with a good performance in the Qatar World Cup. Ronaldo’s goal was a penalty against Ghana.
Conclusion
Cristiano Ronaldo has made a remarkable move to Al Nassr Club in Saudi Arabia, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract until 2025. This significant transfer marks a new chapter in Ronaldo’s illustrious career. His decision to join Al Nassr Club brings anticipation and excitement to both fans and the football community. They eagerly await his contributions to the team. With his exceptional skills and experience, Ronaldo aims to help Al Nassr Club secure new trophies.
