Cristiano Ronaldo, regarded as one of the greatest football players ever, has decided to join the Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr.

Cristiano will make about €70 million a year from his work with Al Nassr. The remaining funds will come from business endeavours like marketing. With nine national championship victories, Al Nassr is one of Saudi Arabia’s most successful clubs. 2019 was the year they last won a championship.

The current record for TV viewership in the Saudi Pro League is anticipated to be broken by Ronaldo’s Al Nassr debut. Although Ronaldo will certainly be the most famous player ever to compete in Saudi Arabia’s elite division, Al Nassr’s roster already had several well-known names.
Have you ever wondered what happened to David Ospina after he left Arsenal in 2019, Premier League fans? The 34-year-old goalkeeper from Colombia joined Al Nassr in July after playing for Napoli.
Brazilians Luiz Gustavo, 35, and Talisca, 28, are now also playing with Al Nassr. Al Nassr now has two centre attackers who have scored in the FIFA World Cup 2022 thanks to Ronaldo’s arrival. This is due to the fact that Vincent Aboubakar, a Cameroonian international and former Porto resident, has served as Al Nassr’s lead frontman since June 2021.
However, Ronaldo’s new colleagues will be primarily Saudi citizens. Six Al Nassr players were included in the Saudi Arabia World Cup roster for Qatar 2022. They were Sami Al-Najei, Nawaf Al-Aqidi, Ali Al-Hassan, Abdullah Madu, Abdulelah Al-Amri, and Sultan Al-Ghannam.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player to have scored in five World Cups. He also now holds the record for both the most goals scored in international football (118) and the most goals scored for club and country (819).
