The five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or will now pursue a career in the Middle East.
Ronaldo’s contract, which is for seven years, states that he will play for two and a half years before transitioning to an ambassadorial position.
His choice to relocate to Saudi Arabia basically puts an end to his distinguished career. It is believed that Ronaldo had hoped to join a Champions League team, but that never happened.
According to reports, one of his duties as an ambassador will be to support Saudi Arabia’s joint candidacy with Egypt and Greece to host the 2030 World Cup.
