Cristiano Ronaldo received a rapturous welcome from 25,000 fans at a packed Mrsool Park in Riyadh after being presented as an Al Nassr player on Tuesday.
The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to play in the Saudi Pro League in one of the most surprising transfers in the sport's history.
The football great, who has won five Ballon d'Or awards for the best player in the world and five Champions League titles, will play outside of Europe for the first time in his storied career.
Ronaldo agreed a deal reportedly worth up to US$200 million a year — making him the highest-paid football player in history.
Speaking at a news conference earlier, Ronaldo revealed he turned down multiple offers from elsewhere in the world.
