On December 30, Al-Nassr confirmed that they had signed five-time Ballon d’Or-winning forward Cristiano Ronaldo on a free transfer. Four days later, they unveiled the Portuguese superstar at their Mrsool Park Stadium in front of a capacity crowd.
Ronaldo came onto the pitch wearing Al-Nassr’s yellow-and-blue home kit, which resembled Juventus’ third kit in the 2021-22 season. Ronaldo wore the kit in his final game for the Bianconeri in the 2-2 draw with Udinese on August 26, 2021.
Juventus’ handle on TikTok spotted the resemblance and wished him all the best for his Saudi Arabia chapter in an innovative fashion.
Captioning a video of Ronaldo in their 2021-22 third kit, Juventus wrote (via @TimelineCR7):
Ronaldo could not win the Champions League with the Old Lady, but his spell at the club was undeniably successful. He played 134 games for the club across competitions between 2018 and 2021, scoring 101 times and providing 22 assists. He won two Serie A titles during his stay in Turin.
Cristiano Ronaldo makes sensational claim in Al-Nassr press conference
At his unveiling at Al-Nassr, former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo said that he turned down many big offers from Europe, America, Brazil and even Portugal.
The Real Madrid legend claimed that he had given his word to Al-Nassr and wanted to develop not only the Saudi Pro League but also the country as a whole.
Ronaldo said (via the Mirror):
Ronaldo has signed a 2.5-year contract with the Saudi Arabian club (till June 2025). According to the Daily Mail, the 37-year-old is set to earn £175 million a year in the Middle East.
