After his exit from Manchester United Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has penned a contract until 2025 with the Saudi club Al Nassr in a deal worth a reported 200 million euros.

According to the report, the Portuguese superstar is expected to face PSG in his debut in Saudi Arabia as part of an exhibition side in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain, which could pit him against Lionel Messi on January 19.

Garcia has also indicated his task is to help Ronaldo fall in love with the game again after a turbulent year.
