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 stealing MLS early 2000s transfer strategy

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.

 

[Pseudo]

Name one athlete in any sport who'd turn down 2 years 400 million euros

You telling me Ronaldo or any top level athlete didn't get offers like these throughout their careers?

 

[LuuqMaan]

CR7 going to the conservative part of Saudi in Riyadh.

Jeddah is more lax.
