Citing Cristiano Ronaldo Fandom, Italian League CEO Admits Supporting Al Nassr in Saudi Pro League

Forget the transfer window, Cristiano Ronaldo is rewriting the fan club landscape. The Al-Nassr star isn’t just a name on the field, he’s a global phenomenon attracting fans in bulk wherever he goes. It is evident by his presence in the Saudi Pro League. However, Ronaldo has not only fired up Al-Nassr’s following, but his influence has now reached the top tier of European soccer. Brace yourself, as Serie A’s very own CEO, Luigi de Siervo, has declared himself an ardent Al-Nassr supporter.

In an exclusive admission that has left fans buzzing, Luigi de Siervo disclosed his fandom for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. He attributed Cristiano Ronaldo as the reason for his allegiance. The Italian League CEO, who oversaw CR7’s tenure in Serie A with Juventus, has seamlessly expressed his fervor support for Ronaldo’s current club. He encapsulated his support by stating, “In the Saudi League, I support Al Nassr, given that Cristiano Ronaldo was a former Juventus player.”

De Siervo’s statement carries immense weight, as it is a testament to the global reach and enduring power of Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Ronaldo has inspired such devotion. His spell at Manchester United saw a surge in red jerseys across the globe, and his Real Madrid days created a generation of die-hard Madridistas. Now, in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo is doing it again, proving his phenomenon.
