Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly has a clause in his Al-Nassr contract to play for Newcastle United should they qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Ronaldo completed a stunning move to the Saudi Arabia club on Friday and is expected to earn in the region of £173million per year. The deal comes after Ronaldo ended his relationship with Manchester 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 link up with his new teammates in the coming days. His first meeting with new boss Rudi Garcia may prove somewhat awkward after the coach suggested he wanted the club to sign Lionel Messi – as Al-Nassr’s city rivals Al-Hilal selling shirts with the Argentine star’s name.
