Adam Seddik, an Al Ittihad fan from Jeddah, said he drove 900km (560 miles) to Riyadh to witness the spectacle. Ronaldo joins the nine-time Saudi champions just weeks after his departure from United following a TV interview in which he criticised the club and coach Erik ten Hag. ‘Greatest player in the world’Othman Al Twaijri, a football analyst, said Ronaldo’s signing will inspire the Saudi league to achieve greater success. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was greeted with applause and shouts of his trademark 'Siu' celebration as he spoke. He answered questions from a club official but took none from reporters. The Portugal captain, 37, said he had offers from clubs in Brazil, Australia, the United States and Portugal.
Ronaldo, who scored 145 goals in 346 appearances for United, left Juventus to rejoin the Old Trafford club in August 2021 - 11 years after he departed to join Real Madrid.

Al Nassr, currently second in the Saudi league, will be the fifth club of Ronaldo’s career. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored more than 700 club goals in a career that began with Sporting in Portugal and has seen him lift the Champions League four times with Real Madrid and once with United. Al Nassr - nine-time Saudi Pro League champions - described the signing as "history in the making". Ronaldo added: "I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football and feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia."Al Nassr, the nine-time Saudi league champions, represent a significant drop in standards for the Portuguese forward, who spearheaded title-laden campaigns with United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Al Twaijri said he expects the Saudi league to become one of the “top 10 in the world” by the year 2030, which is the year Saudi Arabia expects to have implemented a plan that seeks to diversify the kingdom’s economy and reduce its dependence on oil. I won everything, I played for the most important clubs in Europe and now it is a new challenge in Asia."
