Cristiano Ronaldo has landed in Saudi Arabia ahead of his unveiling on Tuesday evening.

Ronaldo who will become the highest sports star in the world, shared a story on his Instagram on Monday tagging Al Nassr club and saying “Hi guys, see you soon,”.

Thousands of fans are expected at Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr club, a spokesman said.

Ronaldo’s deal with Al Nassr was confirmed over the weekend with his contract running until 2025. Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt with Al Nassr who described the new move as “history in the making.”

The 37-year-old left Manchester United late last year after slamming the club in a TV interview with Piers Morgan.
