Kathmandu: Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr on a deal that runs until 2025.



The Portugal captain is a free agent after leaving Manchester United following a controversial interview in which he criticised the club.



Ronaldo will reportedly receive the biggest football salary in history at more than £177m per year.



The 37-year-old says he is "eager to experience a new football league in a different country".



In the summer, Ronaldo turned down a £305m deal to join another Saudi team - Al Hilal - because he was happy at United.



Earlier in November, the striker spoke out in an interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV in which he said he felt "betrayed" by United, did not respect manager Erik ten Hag and was being forced out of the club.



Ronaldo, who scored 145 goals in 346 appearances for United, left Juventus to rejoin the Old Trafford club in August 2021 - 11 years after he departed to join Real Madrid.



He had just over seven months remaining on his £500,000-a-week contract with United but his immediate exit was "mutually agreed".



A day after he left the club, he was banned for two domestic matches for knocking a phone out of an Everton fan's hand after United's defeat at Goodison Park in April.



He will serve the ban at domestic level with any new club - in England or abroad - although it does not apply at continental club level, such as the Champions League.



Ronaldo recently returned from playing for Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, where he made history by becoming the first man to score at five different Fifa World Cups with his strike in his side's opening win against Ghana.

Pele, who helped Brazil win the World Cup three times, was admitted to the hospital last month.



Brazil has won the World Cup five times. Pele is known as the hero who won three out of five titles.



Pele won Brazil the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970. He is the only player to win three World Cups.



Pele has a world record of scoring 1,281 goals in 1,363 matches during his 21-year long football career.



He was also awarded with the FIFA Player of the Century medal in 2000.
