He’s on loan at a club called Al-Tae’e. They actually play Al Nassr next week so he may play against Ronaldo in his debut.

Average age of that team is 35

And the only reason Cristiano might be better than any MLS striker is because Chris Wondolowski retired

Graphic is a little misleading, they usually play a lot of their Saudi players. Majority of the Saudi are in their early 20s. Talisca is 28, Konan is 27, Aboubakar 30 so not exactly washed. Ronaldo transfer obviously not about football though.

All jokes aside I'm really interested to see how Cristiano does because I think he might be completely washed.
I don't know anything about the Saudi league but if they play with the same physicality/athleticism their NT showed during World Cup he might be in for long two years

Quality of the league has improved in recent years, influx of foreigners has upped the Saudi players level too. Also interested in seeing how he adapts. The club is also well supported and they'll turn on him fast if they dont get results.All jokes aside I'm really interested to see how Cristiano does because I think he might be completely washed.

You telling me Ronaldo or any top level athlete didn't get offers like these throughout their careers?
Exactly money is not everything.Plenty of people have blown their heads off with millions in the bank
Even that Rolls-Royce gift video looked depressing, you can see the oldest Ronaldo kid looking like
at the car while Cristiano has his best Tom Cruise smile on.That midfield looks good though which should help him a lot. I remember Thierry Henry getting crazy frustrated with the lack of service during his time with NYRB. He couldn't understand how they were not able to make simple passes
Nah this is crazy money. Only other person who's getting anywhere near that is Messi, not from a club, but also from SaudisYou telling me Ronaldo or any top level athlete didn't get offers like these throughout their careers?
Lionel Messi earned $122m last year. He still felt the need to take Saudi money | Karim Zidan
The Argentinian has a strong record of linking up with oppressive monarchies. He is fast becoming the posterboy for sportswashing
