JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a surprising decision by joining Saudi Arabia's club, Al Nassr. The news about Ronaldo's joining has been announced through the club's official social media and also the player.
However, Ronaldo has not been officially introduced to the public. He also hasn't met fans from Al Nassr.
The club's spokesman, Al-Walid Al-Muhaidib said the former Manchester United player will be introduced to thousands of Al Nassr supporters today, Tuesday, January 3.
The 37-year-old superstar who won the Ballon d'Or five times will arrive in Saudi Arabia on Monday night. He will come with his family. Media and technical staff also participated, as Al-Walid conveyed to AFP, as quoted by Antara.

The player who has just defended the Portugal national team at the 2022 World Cup will appear at home to Al Nassr, namely Mrsoutol Park Stadium. He was present at the stadium with a capacity of 25,000 seats at 19.00 local time or 23.00 WIB.
Al Nassr hopes the stadium is full during the introduction of Ronaldo who has so far become the greatest star ever playing in Saudi Arabia. Although first-class players like George Weah, Pep Guardiola and Xavi have also played in this wealthy Gulf country.
Al Nassr, who won the Saudi League nine times, said Ronaldo's purchase was more than just creating history because he would also inspire the entire league and even Saudi countries.
Saudi Sports Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal vowed "supporting our other clubs to reach a quality agreement with international stars soon."
United ended Ronaldo's contract during the World Cup after an explosive interview in which he claimed to feel betrayed by his club and not respected by coach Erik ten Hag.
The Portuguese forward has long been one of the highest paid football players with a salary of 31 million euros at Juventus before cutting his salary to get back with United.
Ronaldo has won the Champions League five times (2008, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018), twice the Italian League (2019, 2020) with Juventus, twice the Spanish League (2012, 2017) with Real Madrid, three times the Premier League champion with United (2007, 2008, 2009).
He is also the Champions League's top scorer and the Portuguese national team he won Euro 2016.
In Qatar, he became the first to score in five World Cups with a penalty to beat Ghana in the group stage.
