Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr debut has been revealed – and he is set for a baptism of fire.
The Portuguese international has left European football for the Saudi Arabia club in a financially lucrative deal.
The move comes after Ronaldo burnt all bridges at Manchester United with his scathing assessment of the club during a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
Now he is poised to make his debut for Al-Nassr soon after jetting off to Saudi on Monday January 2, 2023.
Ronaldo is expected to make his first appearance on January 14 in a derby against Al-Shabab.
It will likely be a closely-contested clash as the two Riyadh-based sides go head-to-head with much at stake.
Al-Nassr are top of the table but currently only a point clear of Al-Shabab ahead of the clash.
The 37-year-old will be looking to do what he has done throughout his career and make an impact in the biggest games.
Before that match, Al-Nassr have a game against Al-Ta’ee this week but Ronaldo is not expected to be included.
Reports suggest the former Juventus man will be presented at a news conference on Tuesday January 3 and train with his new teammates for the first time after.
Ronaldo will earn a mind-blowing £173m-a-year after signing for Al-Nassr.
