In the world of soccer there are more and more million-dollar investments, since soccer has become a business as well as a sport. However, Al Nassr's investment for Cristiano Ronaldo has never been seen before... The Saudi Arabian team spent 200 million for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Beyond seeming like a waste of money, the reality is that Al Nassr had a great deal. Al Nassr had less than 500K followers on Instagram when they announced the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. Today, 10 months later, Al Nassr has 21.6 million followers, and all thanks to Ronaldo.

Instagram followers can be taken as a representation of how many people around the world know the brand, and it is undeniable that Al Nassr has grown exponentially. Furthermore, the Arab team can now sell itself in friendly matches for many millions of euros, for having Ronaldo, something that could not be done before.

Let's talk about statistics, well, Cristiano Ronaldo has always been characterized as a born scorer who lives off his incredible scoring stats. Cristiano Ronaldo has played only 36 games with Al Nassr since his arrival, and in those 36 games, he has scored 30 goals and given 11 assists. Brutal numbers within the reach of very few.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very happy in Al Nassr:

"I still love football despite my age... I still love to play, score goals, win games. That's why it will continue until my body says: 'Cristiano, it's over'... But so far I feel good "I continue to help the team. Today the most important thing for me at this moment is that we are already up in the league's general standings."
