Saudi Arabian club Al-Nasr is considered one of the most successful clubs and has won the first division title in the country nine times.
In August, the club announced the signing of Spanish defender Alvaro Gonzalez, on a free transfer, following the expiry of his contract with French Marseille, for one season, with an option to renew for another season.
The Qatar World Cup was disappointing for Ronaldo, nicknamed “The Don”, to all intents and purposes, even though he scored the opening goal for his Portuguese side against Ghana from a penalty kick, making him the first player in World Cup history to score a goal in five different versions, according to the AFP report.
Before the start of the current edition of the World Cup, Ronaldo confirmed that he wants to continue playing internationally until the 2024 European Cup.
