Al Nassr: Ronaldo to Be Officially Unveiled in a Grand Ceremony

• Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nassr will show off latest acquisition, Cristiano Ronaldo in style
• Al Nassr secured the services of the veteran Portuguese striker in a mouthwatering deal
• Reports from Saudi Arabia suggest the ex-United star will earn himself mega millions

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

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.

With European clubs coy on adding the Portuguese icon to their roster, Al Nassr stole a march on MLS side Sporting Kansas City to lure CR7 to the Gulf region.
