Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr on an astounding 200 million euro ($214 million) a year contract, which is thought to be the highest salary in football history, following his bitter departure from the Manchester United.

He was pictured in a tweet from Al Nassr's official Twitter account holding up the club's blue and yellow shirt with his iconic number seven printed on the back.

He has signed a two-and-a-half year contract to June 2025 and will be unveiled to fans in Riyadh in the coming days.

"The world's greatest athlete, officially signed for Al Nassr," read a statement. "This is a signing that will not only inspire our club to achieve even greater success but inspire our league, our nation and future generations, boys and girls to be the best version of themselves."

Ronaldo shared, "I am excited to experience a new football league in a different country. The vision of what Al Nassr are doing and developing in Saudi Arabia both in terms of men's and women's football is very inspiring. We can see from Saudi Arabia’s recent performance at the World Cup that this is a country with big football ambitions and a lot of potential."
