Cristiano Ronaldo has sent Al Nassr fans a special message following his official unveiling at the club.

The veteran striker was presented before thousands of fans in a grand ceremony at Mrsool Park on Tuesday evening, January 3, in Riyadh.

Ronaldo sealed a free transfer move to the Saudi club at the end of December 2022, ending weeks of speculation surrounding his future.

The Portuguese star was rendered clubless back in November after Manchester United terminated his contract prematurely.

"WOW!! What a reception @alnassr_fc fans! Now let’s get to work," he posted.

Meanwhile, it remains to be seen when the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will make his debut for his new club.
