Following Manchester United’s unexpected decision to terminate his contract, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is now set to play in the Saudi Arabian league, with a January signing for Al Nassr now reported to be complete.
According to the Spanish Major outlet Marca, the 37-year-old is set to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Saudi team, making him the world’s highest-paid athlete with a salary of €200 million per year.
His new team in the Saudi Arabian league will include Frenchman Rudi Garcia as a coach and Alvaro Gonzalez as a teammate alongside former Napoli goalkeeper David Ospina.
With PSG forward and Argentine international Lionel Messi, his appearances in Europe have seen him dominate world football over the last 15 years or so.
