In announcing the deal, the club simply tweeted that "the world's greatest athlete officially signed for [Al Nassr].".

"I'm thrilled for a new experience in a different league and a different country, the vision that Al Nassr has is very inspiring," said Ronaldo. Ronaldo is coming off a disappointing World Cup where despite Portugal's run to the quarterfinals, the superstar lost his starting job as the tournament entered the knockout stages. He is also expected to have a role in the Saudi bid for the 2030 World Cup. If the veteran striker wants a new coach then that is what he will have. Sources with knowledge of the negotiations say that Ronaldo has already completed the parts of his medical necessary to sign his contract while a second set of tests are expected to take place next week. No other serious suitors emerged and this week has seen the Portugal international iron out the final terms of a contract that will see him wield significant sway at the Saudi club.
