“So it was all about the money; Messi would never”- Fans react as Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly agrees to play for Al Nassr at a $75 million-per-year deal

Massive reports have landed at your doorsteps, as Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed on verbal terms with Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr. According to CBS Sports journalists James Benge and Ben Jacobs, Al Nassr is expected to announce the veteran striker’s signing in the coming hours. Sources close to both parties have indicated that the deal has already been placed.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable top-flight football career might end with this move but it would also pay him a staggering $75 million per season salary. After a disastrous end to his Manchester United era, the 37-year-old striker will be looking forward to a new era in his prolific football career.

The 5-time Ballon d’Or award winner excelled in whichever country he played in. Be it the Premier League, La Liga, or Serie A, Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t disappointed his fans ever. Still, many supporters believe that the Real Madrid legend deserved a better end to his prestigious career. As per reports, Cristiano approached various European clubs like Bayern Munich and Chelse, but no one wanted to sign him due to his age.

It would be a hard pill to swallow seeing one of the greatest footballers to ever play football put on an Al Nassr jersey. Despite his links with his former club Real Madrid, Ronaldo had to apparently agree to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Despite a forgetful year, the Portuguese marksman has been constantly trolled by fans around the world.

A few years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he wanted to finish his career at a top club. He is on the verge of contradicting himself following his move to Al Nassr. Things haven’t been going as per plan for Ronaldo. Although there isn’t anything left to prove for the Portuguese footballer. He has achieved everything in the world of football and is looked up to by many people.

The former Manchester United star went on a controversy spree a few weeks earlier after he ranted about his club on the Piers Morgan show. Evert since, the internet has assumed Ronaldo’s social image to be of a crude, noisy celebrity. There are many who also troll him over his decision of bringing his career to an end with this transfer.
