Numerous journalists had previously confirmed that a transfer involving Ronaldo and Al Nassr was on the cards, and now that the smoke has cleared, it has actually happened as Al Nassr confirmed it, at a cost of ending Ronaldo’s desire to compete in the UCL competition.

He will make his first career appearance outside of Europe after playing for Sporting CP, Manchester United, and Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is most affected by his reunion with the Red Devil because it seemed like a waste of two years of his career, and he never really discovered the peak form of his game.
In 10 appearances for the club during the current Premier League season, Ronaldo managed just one goal and provided further no assist. To make matter worse, he had a conflict with his manager and remained sidelined for a lengthy period of time.

A horrendous outing to the World Cup campaign didn’t help Ronaldo’s cause as he netted only once, thanks to his Penalty goal against Ghana, and was benched twice by Fernando Santos ultimately leading to Portugal’s elimination from the tournament in the quarterfinals.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Saudi Club, Al Nassr offered him a lucrative contract that, when it finally expires in 2025, could net him $200 million.
