South Africa's tourism board have told Cristiano Ronaldo "he's welcome anytime" after he made an embarrassing gaffe at his Al-Nassr unveiling.
Ronaldo, 37, has signed a contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr until June 2025. He will reportedly be paid £177million per year to be the world's highest paid footballer. That deal includes the use of his image rights and other commercial agreements.
Ronaldo was unveiled as an Al-Nassr player on Tuesday and made an awkward mistake when he insisted "it's not the end of my career coming to South Africa". Several people have mocked the Portuguese star for the remark, including South Africa's tourism board.
