After weeks of rumors, Ronaldo's free transfer to Al-Nassr, where he will reportedly earn an astounding £175 million annually, was officially announced on Friday night.
Moreover, it didn't take long for fans to swarm to the club store and purchase the jersey he will be sporting.
After Ronaldo's switch was officially announced, Al-Nassr wasted no time in printing Ronaldo memorabilia. Fans have been posing with the shirt while obviously excited to watch him play in the Middle East.
Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United was mutually terminated last month, making him a free agent in recent weeks.
He criticized the team and manager Erik ten Hag in a shocking interview with Piers Morgan, which led to this decision.
On the eve of the World Cup, Ronaldo's contract was confirmed to be terminated, but the 37-year-old insisted that his entire attention was on helping Portugal win the competition, not his club's future.
Ronaldo, however, was unable to contribute in Qatar, scoring just once in Portugal's opening match against Ghana. Later, he was benched for the team's two playoff games against Morocco and Switzerland.
Portugal was eliminated from the competition in the latter game after losing it.
Since then, Marca has reported that Ronaldo's team was in talks with Al-Nassr during the World Cup, and the forward was fully aware of this development.
