Cristiano Ronaldo is set to begin a new chapter in his professional career. The Portuguese striker will be joining Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a two-year deal. The club just announced Cristiano’s arrival in the Saudi Pro League after weeks of trivial games from both parties. The 5-time Ballon d’Or winner will be making a free transfer after mutually ending his contract with Manchester United.

Al Nassr has been trying to bag this deal ever since things fell apart between United and Ronaldo. The Saudi Arabian club approached the Portugal captain before the 2022 FIFA World Cup began too. Although, both Cristiano and Al Nassr’s president denied reports of any negotiations. After weeks of hassle, the Gulf club finally secured the million-dollar bag in the form of CR7 himself.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be earning a staggering yearly salary of $75 million. According to reports, he is also promised sponsorship deals and endorsements beforehand. Adding all the commercial deals, the striker would be earning close to $200 million every year. Evidently, not a bad move for an aging CR7.

Arguably one of the greatest players of this generation, Ronaldo’s time playing top-flight football has officially come to an end. The forward faced a formidable time finding a suitable European club after facing rejection from most of the groups. It would still be hard for his fanbase to see him play football outside of Europe.

Ronaldo has won the UEFA Champions League and Ballon d’Or awards five times in his career. He has the record for the highest number of goals scored by a player in the history of football. The 37-year-old footballer has earned silverware wherever he has played. A true legend of the game, Ronaldo, has nothing left to prove to anyone with the number of trophies he has in his cabinet.

The veteran athlete has been persuasive on and off the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo is still the person with the most followers on the social media platform Instagram. Lionel Messi and he, together, are often regarded as the most influential athletes of this generation. His mentality and path to success are often imitated by others for a better quality of life.
