Cristiano Ronaldo retires from European football, at least for a while.
Al Arabiya Brk was the first to report that the 37-year-old Portuguese will sign a contract with Al-Nassr. This information was later confirmed by CBS Sports reporters and Fabrizio Romano.
The club itself officially announced the deal on Friday night.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Arabs will flood the football legend with money. He will earn around 200 million euros a year.
Portugal is expected to compete in Saudi Arabia for just two years as the country competes with Portugal and Spain to host the 2030 World Cup. The veteran would like to avoid a conflict of interest.
C. Ronaldo has not received a single solid offer from European clubs, although he has been offered to several Champions League clubs, such as Marseille or Eintracht.
History in the making. This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to even greater success, but it will inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls, to be the best version of themselves. welcome @Christian to your new home @AlNassrFC pic.twitter.com/oan7nu8NWC
