Reports have revealed the expected date for the Saudi club Al Nassr to announce the signing of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, making him a player for the "global" team. The Saudi newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat" confirmed that there is an intention to finalize the major deal by the end of this week, with a contract expected to be signed for a duration of 3 years, for a significant fee. The newspaper added that Al Nassr's offer reached Cristiano Ronaldo two weeks before the World Cup, and officials from the club are waiting for his approval.
Al Nassr is seeking to sign Ronaldo, who has become a free agent since his contract with Manchester United was terminated recently. According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca," the 37-year-old Ronaldo is currently in Dubai for the Christmas holidays, with only 9 days left until the opening of the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, Ronaldo denied these rumors in statements made while with the Portuguese national team in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Morocco after losing 1-0.
