Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr is expected to sign Portugal and former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, and there are talks the transfer will be complete by the end of the year.
The former Manchester United player will sign a two-and-a-half year deal worth 200 euros (£174m). Al Nassr Football Club is based in Riyadh. Formed in 1955, the club plays its home games at the Mrsool Park.
Before the month of January officially begins, Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr appears to be finalised.
As Portugal exited the 2022 World Cup in the quarterfinals, Ronaldo, 37, returned to Europe after his post-World Cup break and is currently working out with Real Madrid.
