Chrstiano Ronaldo has become the highest-paid footballer in the world.
He recently completed a medical as he joins a football club in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo, 37, was greated by a crowd of 25,000 fans at a raucous Mrsool Park in Riyadh. He was later unveiled by the soccer team.
He spoke with the media before he walked into a football field where he stated that: “I feel so proud to make this big decision in my life.
“In Europe, my work is done. I won everything and now this is a new challenge.
“I’m grateful Al Nassr have given me this opportunity, not only for the football but for the young generation and the female generation.
“For me, this is a challenge but I feel very happy and very proud.
“I had many opportunities in Europe, in Brazil, in Australia, in the US and even in Portugal many clubs tried to sign me, but I gave my word to this club.
“This is a good chance to grow many important points here with my knowledge and my experience.”
He added: “I’m a unique player. I beat all the records in Europe. I want to beat a few records here.
“This contract is unique but I’m a unique player, so for me it’s normal. I really don’t worry about what people say. I am really, really happy to be here.
“I know the league is very competitive, I saw many games. I hope to play after (Wednesday) if the coach thinks there’s a chance. I’m ready to keep playing football.”
It was reported that Christiano Ronaldo’s salary will be over £160 million per year.
