  • It would be fair to assume that Cristiano Ronaldo is already loving his life in Saudi Arabia
  • The Portugal star moved to Al-Nassr after his Manchester United contract was ripped up
  • He could make his debut during a friendly tie against Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain

Cristiano Ronaldo is not known for cracking jokes with his teammates or the people around him. That's a preserve for Eden Hazard (during his Chelsea days) or Jack Grealish's bromance with Bernardo Silva.

For Ronaldo, he is a prolific forward - forget his recent struggles, he is one of the greatest scorers the game has ever seen.

He recently sealed a move to Saudi Arabia - a deal that made him the best-paid player in the world.

The superstar was welcomed to Riyadh with pomp and a lot of fanfare, in a glitzy ceremony. Fans thronged the Mrsool Park Stadium in the Saudi capital on January 3, 2023, to welcome the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

A new video has now shown Ronaldo in the tunnel, dressed in an Al-Nassr sweater and cracking a joke with those around him.

It is unclear what Ronaldo was saying, but the Portuguese star used his hands to imitate a certain movement. In the video, the people around him laugh and he also chuckles at his own humour.

Is Al-Nassr Ronaldo's renaissance?

For any staunch Ronaldo fan out there, this will be a welcome sight for a player who has been underwhelming in recent months. Perhaps the smile is the perfect way to begin his voyage in the Middle East.

Morgan speaks on Ronaldo's transfer

Sports Brief has also reported that Piers Morgan launched a spirited defence for Ronaldo, who has been labelled 'finished' after his transfer to Al-Nassr.

The football star's odd yet lucrative switch to the Saudi Arabian club has seen many raise questions about his ambition, while others believe his time as a professional player is done.

Morgan however, who is a devout Ronaldo fan, sees nothing wrong with the Portuguese forward's move to the Middle East.
