Cristiano Ronaldo (37, Portugal), who became “invincible”, would be imminent in Saudi Arabia.
Citing sources on the 26th (local time), US CBS said, “Saudi club Al Nasr has scheduled a medical test to finalize Ronaldo’s contract.”
Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United (Man United) in the English professional football Premier League (EPL), has yet to find a squad after terminating his contract with Manchester United during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar on last month.
He had an interview criticizing Manchester United’s leadership and manager Eric Tenhach, and was basically released after a conflict with the club.
Later, the team mentioned as his next destination is Al Nass.
Reports of Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr surfaced during the World Cup in Qatar, and earlier this month Eurosport said: “Ronaldo has agreed to join Al-Nassr from 1 January 2023.
The duration of the contract is two and a half years, and the condition is to reach an annual salary of 200 million euros (about 271.5 billion won).”
Ronaldo’s team has been known to deny this, but Spaniard Marca and others have consistently predicted he would go to the Saudi Arabian League.
CBS said, “Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes couldn’t find a team that wanted Ronaldo in Europe, and the Saudi Arabian team became the favourites.”
“Al-Nasr wants to finalize the agreement in time for the January transfer market.
The terms of the contract between Ronaldo and Al Nasr appear to have been largely agreed and it is up to Ronaldo to finalize the process.”
