With his move to Al-Nassr Football Club, Ronaldo bids farewell to the world football stage. The question is whether the soon to be 38-year-old will be happy in Saudi Arabia – or become a representative of the autocratic regime.
Even Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr Football Club didn’t seem to be quite sure how the dimension of Cristiano Ronaldo’s commitment should really be classified. On the social network Twitter, the club wrote on the night of Saturday that history was being made (“History in the making”) to announce the contract signature of the five-time world footballer. At the same time, the club announced on Instagram that this was “much more” than that.
