It looks like the speculation is about to end. There is no more ‘will he or won’t he’ and no more ‘maybe’. Cristiano Ronaldo will play for Saudi club Al-Nassr.According to the Saudi newspaper Al Arabiyah, the veteran Portuguese has signed a two-year contract with the wealthy club. The 37-year-old star has been a free agent since his Manchester United contract was ripped up last month in the wake of his explosive interview with English journalist Piers Morgan.✈️🇸🇦 Cristiano Ronaldo will be announced as a Al-Nassr player after their game tomorrow evening, reports CBS Sports. pic.twitter.com/f28pKNBg6I— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) December 30, 2022 Earlier this month, there were reports of a $200-million-a-year deal being offered by a Saudi club to try and tempt Ronaldo to sign.Al-Nassr currently sit second in the Saudi Pro League table after seven wins from their opening ten games. A return to Sporting Lisbon was muted as another potential destination for the Portugal legend.And he had also recently been training with former club Real Madrid, although a second stint at the Bernabeu always appeared unlikely.With all options running out, Ronaldo has decided to accept the insanely high offer from the Middle East. True, he won’t be able to add to his Champions League tally, nor will he be considered a top-level player anymore. But he’s been doing it for nearly two decades. He deserves to take it easy in the twilight of his career. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6917010##With wages of KSh67,616,413 PER DAY, we must forgive Ronaldo for taking the easy option.We await official confirmation from the club.
