Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, declared on Tuesday that he had completed his “work” in Europe and was looking forward to taking on new challenges both on and off the field.
Following his contentious split from Manchester United in November, Ronaldo became a free agent. Last week, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Al Nassr, which the media has pegged at more than 200 million euros ($210.94 million).
At Al Nassr’s home field Mrsool Park, where thousands of fans gathered to see him unveiled, he was greeted by a sea of yellow and blue.
After a glittering tenure at Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid from 2009 to 2018, where he won two LaLiga titles, two Spanish Cups, four Champions League titles, and three Club World Cups, Ronaldo arrives in Saudi Arabia with a vast collection of club accolades.
Before returning to United, where he had already won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League, and the Club World Cup, he also won two Serie A championships and a Copa Italia trophy in three years at Juventus.
“I’m so proud to make this big decision in my life. In Europe, my work is done,” Ronaldo told a news conference.
“I won everything, I played in the most important clubs in Europe and now it’s a new challenge in Asia.”
