In Qatar last year, he became the first man to score at five World Cups.<\/p>\n<p>His shock move to Al Nassr came after his second stint at Manchester United collapsed in acrimony when he savaged the club in a TV interview.<\/p>\n<p>According to a source close to Al Nassr, he signed for more than 200 million euros on top of a separate 200-million-euro deal to act as an ambassador for Saudi Arabia\u2019s expected 2030 World Cup co-hosting bid.<\/p>\n<p>It will further swell the bank balance of Ronaldo, who became the first footballer to pass $1 billion in career earnings in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Part of his appeal is his massive social media presence, with nearly 800 million followers across Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>However, his transfer has been criticised by activist groups including Amnesty International, which warned he was becoming a \u201ctool of Saudi\u2019s sportswashing\u201d of its \u201cappalling human rights record\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristiano Ronaldo made a winning start to life in the Saudi Pro League as he led Al Nassr to a 1-0 victory over Ettifaq on Sunday in his first match since becoming the best paid footballer in history.
