Cristiano Ronaldo Speaks for the First Time Since Signing £175 Million Deal with Al-Nassr!
Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed to a two-year contract with Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo declared that he is “thrilled” to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr on a two-year deal after his contract with Manchester United was terminated. The attacker will now earn £175 million a year as a result, making him the highest-paid footballer in history.
Ronaldo was eager to leave United over the summer, despite Erik ten Hag’s claim that the striker was part of his plans. But the five-time Ballon d’Or winner swiftly demonstrated that this was not the case by objecting in a number of different ways.
The final straw for United was Ronaldo’s participation in a mind-blowing interview, in which he admitted to having “no regard” for the manager and cautioned fans that the club was not in safe hands with the Glazers family. Ronaldo’s contract was dissolved when European clubs showed no interest in him, freeing him to accept a stunning deal to join Al-Nassr.
After signing the contract, Ronaldo said, “I’m happy for a new experience in a different league and country, the notion that Al Nassr has is incredibly encouraging. I’m eager to collaborate with my teammates and further the success of the team.
Ronaldo’s representative, Jorge Mendes, spoke with a lot of top teams over the summer in an effort to get solid bids for his client’s services. Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid were among the clubs contacted, but none of them were persuaded by the Portuguese international’s skills.
Ronaldo wanted to play Champions League football if at all possible, therefore Al-Nassr was anxious to get him in the summer but had to wait. As they tweeted to announce the signing of their new No. 7: “The world’s finest athlete officially signs for Al-Nassr,” it was clear that their perseverance had paid off.
Furthermore, the group released a press release on their most recent high-profile recruit, which stated: “History in the making. This is a signing that will inspire the next generation of young men and women to strive to be the best versions of themselves, as well as our league, our nation, and our team to continue to succeed. @Cristiano, welcome to your new home.
It will be intriguing to see how Ronaldo fares during his stay in Saudi Arabia, if he ends up serving as the league’s “poster boy,” and whether his presence there spurs a wave of other world-class athletes to emulate him. Al-Nassr is reportedly considering signing Ronaldo and bringing in Sergio Ramos, N’Golo Kante, and other players.
Ronaldo signs a $315 million contract with a Saudi club.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, is 37 years old, and his playing days are numbered—unlike his bank account, which has soared after signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr.
According to media estimates, Ronaldo’s contract is worth more than 200 million euros ($A315 million).
The transfer occurs only a few weeks after the star’s acrimonious exit from Manchester United as a result of an explosive television interview in which the 37-year-old forward expressed his feelings of betrayal and lack of respect for Dutch manager Erik ten Hag.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will join for a term through 2025, according to a statement from Al Nassr on Friday. No financial information was provided.
a fresh challenge:
Ronaldo said in a statement, “I feel that this is the ideal time to share my experience in Asia. I am lucky to have won all I set out to earn in European football.
“I am eager to work with my new teammates and help the squad succeed together,” the player said.
After a dazzling tenure at Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, where he won two La Liga championships, two Spanish Cups, four Champions Leagues, and three Club World Cups, Ronaldo will come in Saudi Arabia with a great collection of club honors.
He has more over 800 senior goals overall for the club and nation. He set a club record 451 goals for Real.
Before returning to Manchester United, where he had previously won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, and the Club World Cup, Ronaldo won two Serie A championships and a Copa Italia trophy during his three years at Juventus.
He represented Portugal in Qatar, where he scored a penalty against Ghana in their opening Group H match to become the first player to score in five World Cups by Hollywood Nuts.
Morocco eliminated Portugal from the tournament in the quarterfinals.
Job Swansong:
As he wants to retire at age 40, Ronaldo stated that Qatar would likely be his final World Cup. A move to Saudi Arabia is expected to be the final chapter in the career of one of the finest players in the game right now, along with Lionel Messi.
President of Al Nassr Musalli Almuammar said, “This is more than history in the making.”
“This is a signing that will motivate not just our team to even greater success, but also our league, our country, and future generations,” the agent said.
The nine-time Saudi Pro Premier League champion Saudi Arabian team is hoping Ronaldo can lead them to their first AFC Asian Champions League victory.
The Portuguese forward, though, will miss his opening two domestic matches after receiving a suspension for snatching a phone from a supporter’s hand following United’s loss at Everton in April.
