According to numerous sources, Cristiano Ronaldo has officially signed a record contract to join Al-Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia.
After several weeks of rumors that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner may be moving to the Middle East for the next stage of his career, the most recent development finally came to pass.
After Al-match Nassr’s against Al Khaleej on Saturday, there will be a formal announcement. According to CBS Sports, it will cost about $75 million per year for two seasons.
The 37-year-old was left clueless after his contract with Manchester United was abruptly terminated with six months left on his contract following fracas with the hierarchy and manager of the club Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo has struggled to secure a ‘wanted’ move to top clubs in Europe due to his huge weekly wages and also his age.
