New Saudi Arabia football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait for his debut for three reasons: storm, fitness and too much foreigners. Former Manchester United signed a two-year, 200 million per season contract with Al-Nassr and was expected to debut soon. His first opportunity would have been today, against Al Ta’ee at home, but the club announced that due to heavy rain and weather conditions impacting the stadium’s electricity, the game is postponed until Friday. The next obstacle could be Ronaldo’s fitness. The former Manchester United forward has not played since Portugal were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco on December 10, so his lack of play-time will be the key factor in Garcia’s decision. On the other hand, with so much money given to him, with such a hysteria surrounding his signature, it’s hard to believe that Ronaldo will completely miss the game. He might not start, but he will surely come in during the match.No longer together: Jorge Mendes lost 30,000,000 euros of commission due to a quarrel with RonaldoBut for that to happen, another action had to be taken. According to club sources, per AFP, the Saudi club have exceeded their quota for foreign players. “Al Nassr has not registered him yet because there is no vacancy for a foreign player. A foreign player must leave to register Ronaldo, either by selling or by terminating the contract by mutual consent” one Al Nassr official, who did not want to be named because he was not authorized to speak to media, told AFP.Ronaldo unveiled in Saudi Arabia: ‘My work in Europe is done’Al Nassr’s foreign contingent includes Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina, Brazilian midfielder Luiz Gustavo and forwards Anderson Talisca of Brazil and Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon. Saudi reports said Uzbek midfielder Jaloliddin Masharipov was most likely to make way for Ronaldo, but, in the end, it seems that quite surprisingly, it will be Aboubakar. 🔵🟡 Afin d’enregistrer Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr souhaite se débarrasser de Vincent Aboubakar dans les heures à venir. 🦁🇨🇲 pic.twitter.com/AYeW1lQM7M— AllezLesLions (@AllezLesLions) January 5, 2023 Former Porto and Besiktas striker was Cameroon’s best scorer in the recently finished World Cup, with three goals. He provided a brace which helped the Indomitable Lions to earn a draw with Serbia after going 3-1 during the game and then he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Brazil. Still, his form was not good enough for Al-Nassr, who decided to cut the striker in order to register Ronaldo, as per few reliable reports. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6923523##
