[News] CRISTIANO RONALDO SIGNS FOR AL NASSR FOLLOWING EXIT FROM MANCHESTER UNITED

Cristiano Ronaldo stands to earn hundreds of millions of pounds after signing a two-and-a-half year contract to join Saudi Arabian League side Al Nassr. Ronaldo had been hunting for a new club following his departure from Manchester United in the lead-up to the 2023 World Cup, and it has now been confirmed that he will be making the switch to Al Nassr.

History in the making,” the club said in a statement on social media. “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 Cristiano to your new home.”

The Portugal international had been free to look for a new club after he left Manchester United in the days before the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Ronaldo had given a controversial interview to Piers Morgan on British news channel GB News where he claimed he did not respect current United coach Erik ten Hag, and listed a number of perceived shortcomings in his treatment by the club.

Ronaldo had returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2021 from Juventus, but the club were unable to secure a Champions League place despite Ronaldo finishing at the side’s top goalscorer.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was replaced by Ralf Rangnick midway through the season, before Ten Hag arrived. The Dutchman did not find a regular space for Ronaldo in his starting line-up, and dropped the striker after he refused to come on as a substitute during a Premier League match against Tottenham.
