  • Cristiano Ronaldo made a blockbuster move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.
  • His son, Cristiano Jr. also left Manchester United academy and joined a new club.
  • Georgina Rodriguez has been spotted watch his partner's son's first game in the Arab country.

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the highest paid footballer in the world after completing a transfer to Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr, a deal reportedly worth a salary of £173m per season, on a two and half year's contract.

Ronaldo left the club that made him famous after his contract was mutually terminated following an interview with Piers Morgan, criticizing the club's hierarchy and head coach Erik Ten Hag, having returned to Manchester in 2021.

He withdrew his son, Cristiano Jr. from Manchester United academy as he had always done in the past when changing clubs, with Real Madrid and Juventus, and because he did not want to leave him alone in Manchester.

According to Sport Bible, the identity of who gave birth to Ronaldo's first son remains unknown as the star has remained tight-lipped over who bore him, but it is known he was born in the United States.

He joins Mahd academy in Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia, where the former Real Madrid star will be playing for Al-Nassr in the Pro League for the next two and half seasons.

He has previously played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus academies while the five time Ballon d'Or winner was representing those clubs and produced incredible numbers.
