Rudi Garcia reveals his plan for Cristiano Ronaldo

Like a good series on Netflix, the soap opera Cristiano Ronaldo has had several twists and turns in recent months. Last July, the Portuguese banged his fist on the table to leave Manchester United. But CR7 was unsuccessful, even if a few suitors had come forward without necessarily going any further. He therefore remained with the Red Devils, where he was downgraded. His relations with Erik ten Hag were refreshed over the weeks and the point of no return was reached during the interview given to Piers Morgan, just before the World Cup.

The former Real Madrid knocked out Manchester United as well as the Dutch technician, thus sealing his departure. Focused on the World Cup, CR7 ignited the transfer section. Even more so when he returned to Real Madrid’s training center. But it was only to train and keep in shape before joining his next club. And it was at Al-Nassr that he decided to pursue his fine career. Friday, the Saudi team formalized the arrival of the fivefold Ballon d’Or until 2025 as a player, for a hefty salary of 200 million euros.

Rudi Garcia is happy for CR7

Cristiano Ronaldo, who will take on the role of ambassador once his mission on the ground is accomplished, arrived last night in Riyadh. Accompanied by his partner and his children, he was warmly welcomed and starred by the supporters. The Lusitanian international will undergo his medical examination before being presented to the fans on Tuesday. They will be around 25,000 to attend this event. Then, CR7 will be able to concentrate on the field, he who could play his first minutes on Thursday against Al Tai. A sizeable reinforcement for Al-Nassr, already leader of the Saudi Pro League, and Rudi Garcia. Discreet since the formalization of the transfer of the 37-year-old Portuguese, the tricolor technician had only allowed himself to launch a funny little sentence. “I tried to bring Messi straight from Doha.”

This Tuesday, he was a little more talkative in the columns of The Team. “Signing a player like Cristiano Ronaldo is extraordinary and contributes to the development of Saudi football. We are happy with his arrival. The first objective is to work so that he can adapt to our team, so that he can enjoy playing for Al-Nassr, and please the supporters. And Al-Nassr fans are already thrilled. As the Saudi press explained yesterday, the flocked jerseys in the name of the famous number 7 have already been torn off and are out of stock. The new adventures of CR7 in Al-Nassr are likely to thrill the crowds, like a good series on Netflix once again. To be continued in the next episode. Tudum!
