Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo arrives at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, January 3, 2023.
The Portugal captain delivered a video message to his new fans on Monday after he joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a 2 ½-year contract.
“See you soon, Nassr fans,” he said, before giving a thumbs up to the camera in the video, which was shot on a plane.
The club announced the deal on Friday, after Ronaldo left Manchester United to become a free agent.
Ronaldo departed Old Trafford in November following an explosive television interview in which the 37-year-old forward said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect its Dutch manager, Erik ten Hag.
Al Nassr issued a statement saying the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will join on a deal until 2025 but did not disclose any financial details. (Reuters)
