JAKARTA - Portugal's national team player, Cristiano Ronaldo, made a surprise by deciding to move to Saudi Arabia's club, Al Nassr. Ronaldo signed a contract for two seasons.

Many are wondering why Al Nassr is willing to spend a lot of money to land Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. As is known, he is signed with a contract worth 200 million euros (around Rp. 3.30 trillion) per year.

Some considered that Al Nassr's move was to realize Saudi Arabia's ambition to host the World Cup. Rumor has it that the former Real Madrid and Juventus players will be the " tools" of the Middle Eastern Country's campaign.

Rumor has it that they will propose to host the 2030 World Cup in collaboration with Egypt and Greece.

The mirror reports that Ronaldo has a clause that makes him an ambassador for Saudi Arabia's sport. Of course, the 37-year-old player gets the task of promoting Saudi Arabia's desire to host the 2030 World Cup.

The Saudi Arabian government itself has stated that it will support other clubs who want to bring in big stars, such as Al Nassr who brought in Ronaldo.

The support was conveyed by the Minister of Sports of Saudi Arabia Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal. He said the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would support other clubs to reach an agreement with other international stars.

As is known, Ronaldo is actually not the first European-class star to be brought in by Al Nassr. Previously there had been Luiz Gustavo who had defended European giants such as Bayern Munich and Olympique Marseille.

Then there are David Ospina (ex Arsenal and Napoli), Alvaro Gonzalez (forms Villarreal and Espanyol) and Vincent Aboubakar (former FC Porto and Besiktas).

They were all brought in to launch Saudi Arabia's mission to win the host status of the 2030 World Cup.
