When will Cristiano Ronaldo make his debut for Al-Nassr?
The Portuguese star joined the Saudi side on a free transfer
Cristiano Ronaldo is scheduled to make his official debut for his new club Al-Nassr after signing a lavish contract that would keep him at the club until 2025, making him the wealthiest football player in the world.
Ronaldo was a free agent after leaving Manchester United by unanimous consent. Despite having offered himself to a number of teams, Ronaldo accepted a two-year contract with the Saudi club. However, during the press conference, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner declared the contrary as he commented “Many clubs wanted to sign in Europe but I joined Al-Nassr on personal reasons.”
Fans have yet to see the former Real Madrid star, who was presented on Tuesday, and it is unknown when he will make his formal debut.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not be able to make his debut on 14th January
It is believed that the 37-year-old will not make his debut on January 14th after leaving Manchester United in an unusual manner and being penalized for his inappropriate behaviour when he was seen smashing a fan's phone after the match against Everton the player was found to be guilty of violent action and willful misconduct.
During the FA inquiry, it was stated that Ronaldo was charged with improper conduct, and the ban is said to extend across to his next club, with the player missing the two matches of his next team. Ronaldo will most likely miss the encounter against Al-Shabab on January 14th due to a two-match suspension.
Despite shifting continents, Ronaldo must pay the last pending penalty he left in the Premier League. According to FIFA's rules on the condition and transfer of players, article 12.1.
Although the Saudi club will be back in action and play their next game on the 21st, therefore Ronaldo might make his Al-Nassr debut against Al-Ettifaq.
