Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo joins Saudi Arabian club until June 2025
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a two-and-a-half year deal, a month after the 37-year-old forward became a free agent when his contract with Premier League club Manchester United was terminated.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner left Man United following an explosive television interview in which the forward said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo, 37, represented Portugal in Qatar, where he became the first player to score in five World Cups after netting a penalty in his side's opening Group H game against Ghana. Portugal were knocked out in the quarterfinals by Morocco.
Ronaldo said Qatar would probably be his last World Cup as he plans to retire at 40, with a move to Saudi Arabia likely to mark the swansong in the career one of the game’s greatest current players alongside Lionel Messi. Here is what you need to know about the club:• Formed in 1955, Al Nassr is based in the Saudi capital of Riyadh and the club plays in the country’s top division — the Saudi Professional League , which has 18 teams.
History in the making. This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves. Welcome
