Cristiano Ronaldo is set to captain an all-star team comprised of Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal players in this week’s friendly against Paris Saint-Germain in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo completed a stunning move to the Saudi Arabian club earlier this month and is expected to earn in the region of £173million per year. The deal comes after Ronaldo ended his relationship with United by mutual consent in November following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
With no other offers on the table, Ronaldo made the switch to the Middle East club and will make his ‘debut’ on Thursday, as part of an all-star game against PSG. Al-Nassr’s city rivals Al-Hilal began selling shirts with Messi’s name in reaction to the deal, but the two are now set to line up against each other in the Riyadh friendly.
