The lowdown on Al Nassr as Ronaldo closes in on a move to the Saudi club

  /  autty

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly edging nearer to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia outfit Al Nassr after agreeing terms on a Β£173million-per-year contract with the club.

After having his contract terminated at Manchester United earlier this month, it seemed the Portuguese forward was keen on moving to a Champions League club, but he now looks set to move to the Middle East.

So, who are Al Nassr?

The club were formed in 1955, and have become one of the most successful sides in Saudi Arabia ever since.

They have won nine league titles, with their most recent triumph coming in the 2018-19 season.

The Saudi giants currently have a couple of big-name stars of the past in the form of goalkeeper David Ospina, Brazilian midfielder Luiz Gustavo, plus they have Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar in their ranks.

Aboubakar recently lit up the World Cup, scoring a delightful scooped effort before setting up Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for a goal as Cameroon came from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with Serbia.

The club are managed by Frenchman Rudi Garcia, who has previously coached Roma, Marseille and Lyon
