Ronaldo got a big opportunity, now he will get so many crores in a year
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a 2-1/2 year contract, the club announced on Friday, after leaving Manchester United to become a free agent.
Ronaldo departed Old Trafford last month following an explosive television interview in which the 37-year-old forward said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag.
Al Nassr issued a statement saying the five-time Ballon D'or winner will join on a deal until 2025 but did not disclose any financial details. Ronaldo's contract has been estimated by the media to be worth more than 200 million euros ($214.04 million).
Ronaldo said- I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football and feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia .
"I am looking forward to joining my new team mates and together with them help the Club to achieve success."
Ronaldo claimed two Serie A titles and a Copa Italia trophy in three years at Juventus before rejoining United with whom he had bagged three Premier League crowns, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League and Club World Cup.
The Saudi Arabian club, who have won nine Saudi Pro Premier League titles, are hoping Ronaldo can help them win another domestic league title and a first AFC Asian Champions League.
