Cristiano Ronaldo signed a two-year big money contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.

The veteran has been available since November when he terminated his contract with Manchester United by mutual consent.

Al-Nassr has officially announced the signing of one of greatest players of the sport.

On their official Instagram handles (Al Nassr and Cristiano), they commented on the signing, terming it an “inspiration” for all clubs and fans.

“This is more than history in the making. This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves,” the statement read.

Ronaldo had preferred to stay in European football, citing a desire to compete in the Champions League, but received no appropriate offers in the wake of his Old Trafford exit.

According to CBS Sport, the deal is said to be worth around €75 million per season as Al Nassr tops the Saudi Pro League.
