Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has signed for Al Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia, where he will play for the next two seasons, after a month of rumors that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner had broken off his relationship at Manchester United during the World Cup in Qatar.
The Saudi outlet Al Arabiya, one of the most important in Arabic and the Middle East, confirmed that, according to its sources, Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, “officially” signed a two-year contract with Al Nassr, information also offered by the sports portal Al Riyadiah, the most important in the kingdom.
Another important media outlet in the Arab world, such as Al Sharq al Awsat, also confirmed this information, according to their sources.
So far, Al Nassr has not officially announced the signing of Cristiano.
According to these versions, the Portuguese will join the club in January, although they did not report the value of his contract or give more information about when he will arrive in Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr is one of the best clubs in the world and has been the league champion nine times.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently without a club after leaving Manchester United, has been linked with Al Nassr for weeks, although when asked about it at the World Cup, he limited himself to saying “no” is true .
The sports director of Al Nassr, the Portuguese-Brazilian Marcelo Salazar, said on December 26 in an interview with the Flashscore portal about the signing of CR7 that he is not “authorized to say yes or no” because it is a negotiation of ” enormous magnitude”.
But he limited himself by saying that the Saudi club will wait for now and that “at the right moment the future will be revealed.”
