One of the biggest highlights is that share sales and the value of Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club, Al-Nasr, have both risen significantly since the superstar’s arrival. The club has also managed to make a good amount of money from its shirt sales. Now Al-Nasser’s rivals Al-Hilal have Lionel Messi’s shirts for sale in their shop. This move makes fun of Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi Arabian club.
Al-Nasser and Al-Hilal have feuded in the Riyadh derby for years, but now that Ronaldo has joined his rival’s fold, the derby will be even more exciting. Either way, Messi’s shirt was placed in their shop as a mockery of the superstar’s arrival in the minor league.
Ronaldo’s chapter in European football ended, perhaps, with this move. Ronaldo is a five-time UEFA Champions League winner and the competition’s all-time top scorer.
After enjoying spells with the likes of Sporting CP, Manchester United (two games), Real Madrid and Juventus, the star will be looking to conquer the new continent.
