Ronaldo was officially announced as an Al-Nassr player on Friday night, with the Portuguese star set to earn an eye-watering £175m-a-year until 2025, making him the highest-paid player in world football.
He traveled to Saudi Arabia on Monday, posting a short video on Instagram in which he told fans to ‘see you soon’ as he prepared to leave.
Ronaldo arrived on Monday night, and Al-Nassr has now posted footage of his arrival with his family.
The video shows Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez being greeted by two young fans, who hand the couple a bunch of flowers each.

Ronaldo certainly enjoyed the reception as he posed for pictures with the children, and had a big smile on his face.

Ronaldo is set for a busy day on Tuesday after completing his medical, as he will meet Al-Nassr’s supporters at the club’s home ground, Mrsool Park.
The stadium has a capacity of 30,000, and is expected to be full for his unveiling.
Al-Nassr fans may not have to wait too long to see their new signing in action, as Ronaldo could make his debut on Thursday if he is deemed fit to play.
Al-Nassr play Al Ta’ee at home on Thursday, which manager Rudi Garcia may decide is the perfect game to give Ronaldo his debut.
It may be a tough call for Garcia, however, given Ronaldo’s lack of game time in recent weeks. The former Manchester United forward has not played since Portugal were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco on December 10.
