One of the biggest highlights is that the share sales and value of Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club, Al-Nasr, have both increased significantly since the arrival of the superstar. The club also managed to earn a good amount of money from his jersey sales. Now Al-Nasser’s rivals, Al-Hilal, have Lionel Messi’s jerseys for sale in their store. This move is a mockery of Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi Arabian club.
Al-Nasser and Al-Hilal have been feuding in the Riyadh derby for years. Now that Ronaldo has joined their rival’s fold, the derby will be even more exciting. In any case, Messi’s jersey was placed in their store as a mockery of the superstar’s arrival in the minor league.
Ronaldo’s chapter in European football ended, perhaps, with this move. Ronaldo is a five-time UEFA Champions League winner and the competition’s all-time top goalscorer.
Having enjoyed spells with the likes of Sporting CP, Manchester United (two games), Real Madrid and Juventus, the star will be looking to conquer the new continent.
