"AL-NASSR FC SAUDI ARABIA Hiring finished Cristiano Ronaldo for 200M € annually, while paying on-peak Aboubakar Vincent only 6.2M € per annum! Isn't this racism in soccer? Or the continued belief in UAE that African labor must be cheap... slavery! @FIFAcom"

Al-Nassr to unveil Ronaldo

Ronaldo will officially be presented as a player of Al-Nassr on Tuesday, January 3 at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Sports Brief reported.

Ronaldo completed a two-year deal with the Saudi Professional League side just before the turn of the year, bringing an end to speculations surrounding his future.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner had been a free agent since the premature termination of his contract with Manchester United in November 2022.

Ronaldo could meet Knowledge Musona

The world is looking forward to watching what impact Ronaldo will have on the Saudi Professional League.

The Portuguese great was unveiled as Al-Nassr's historic signing on Friday, in the richest deal in history for an individual sportsperson.

To the excitement of Zimbabweans and South Africans, it was pointed out how Ronaldo's first match in the country could be against Al Taai on Thursday.

This is significant, because that is the team the respected Knowledge Musona plays for in the Middle Eastern country and its league.
