It’s official. After weeks of speculation, one of the world’s greatest footballers has made his move to a new club. On Monday, Al-Nassr FC announced that they had signed Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus on a four-year deal. The news sent shockwaves through the footballing world and was met with jubilation by fans of both clubs. For Al-Nassr, it is a huge coup and signals their ambition to become one of the biggest teams in Asia. Ronaldo himself expressed his delight at joining the Saudi Arabian side and spoke of his hopes for what he can achieve there. “I am very happy to be here and I hope I can help this team achieve great success,” he said at his unveiling press conference. “I want to inspire not only our club but also our league, our nation and future generations of boys and girls to be the best version of themselves.” The 34-year old joins an already impressive squad at Al-Nassr which includes former Premier League stars Yohan Cabaye and Salem Al Dawsari as well as Saudi Arabia international Fahad Al Muwallad. With such an array of talent at their disposal, many are tipping them for success in both domestic competitions and continental tournaments such as the AFC Champions League next season. For Ronaldo himself, this move marks another chapter in an illustrious career which has seen him win numerous trophies including five Ballon d'Or awards, four Champions Leagues titles with two different clubs (Manchester United & Real Madrid) as well as two Serie A titles with Juventus last season alone. He will now look to add more silverware to his collection during his time with Al-Nassr FC who will no doubt benefit from having one of football's most iconic figures within their ranks for years to come.
