Cristiano Ronaldo is an Al Nassr player.
The announcement of the signing of the contract between the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and the Saudi Arabian club, which had been talked about for about a month, fabled about extraordinary offers, arrived late in the evening with a tweet from the official profile of the club, accompanied by a photo in which the Portuguese appears with the yellow and blue no.7 shirt.
CR7, who left Manchester United in November after his unsuccessful return following his departure from Juventus, has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract until June 2025.
In the ballet of figures, obviously not made official,
Ronaldo would receive the equivalent of 200 million euros, but the offer would also include a role as 'ambassador' of Saudi football until 2030, which would multiply the revenues up to one billion
.
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.

"
I can't wait to discover a new football league in a different country
- the statement of the Portuguese champion -.
Al-Nassr's vision is very inspiring and I am delighted to join my teammates so that together we can achieve greater successes." "History is being written.
This transfer - writes the club instead - will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success, but it will inspire our league, our country and future generations of boys and girls to give their best". the only player to have scored in five different World Cups and overall top scorer in the Champions League, played for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, winning 31 titles and cups, including five Champions League, two Super Cups and four World Cups for club, as well as a European title with Portugal.
Now he will have another veteran from Serie A training him, the French Rudi Garcia, for whom the gifts don't seem finished.
Alongside CR7, the club would also like to bring two players who have made the history of Spanish football to Riyadh, former Real Madrid player Sergio RAMOS and Barcelona midfielder Sergi BUSQUETS.
The Iberian media certainly give the approaches to the two players who have a strong extra stimulus after Ronaldo's signing.
Ramos, having left Real, is not enjoying the transfer to Paris Saint Germain as he hoped.
For Busquets, who has just left the Spain shirt, it might be time to also say goodbye to Barca, who, again according to the local media, would aim to replace him with JORGINHO, who is leaving Chelsea in the event of the more than probable arrival in London of the Argentinian Enzo FERNANDEZ.
The Blues are ready to pay Benfica about 120 million for the termination clause, much less than what Al Nassr would have offered CR7 a year.
In the more 'modest' economic panorama of Serie A, it is above all the renewals that give us thoughts
, operations which, going through, would take away a lot of thoughts from technicians and managers.
in Milan football dominate two issues, those of SKRINIAR and LEAO.
The Slovak desired in the Premier League has posted a message of love to Inter, perhaps a sign of good will, while a meeting is expected for the Portuguese next week and Milan are busy in the meantime looking for a goalkeeper and it is speculated from England the arrival on loan of MENDY, who is no longer a regular at Chelsea.
Juventus is also looking to the Premier League
for some winter reinforcements, with Brighton's Alexis MCALLISTER who would be very close to saying yes, while there would be interest in Manchester United's DALOT, less easy prey.
Among the few deals concluded so far, and to be stamped from 2 January, there is the loan transfer to Empoli of the attacker CAPUTO of Sampdoria, where in the opposite direction the Dutch LAMMERS will arrive.
