Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s $21.2 Million Legal Soup, Juventus Legend Close to Joining Al Nassr

Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr could make a massive announcement in the coming weeks. The Cristiano Ronaldo-led side has been on the top of their game, signing some top names across Europe. With the team achieving significant results on the field, the club is now looking to reinforce its backroom staff. The Middle Eastern side is currently in close contact with a Juventus legend, who is edging towards a move to the club.

While the club is doing all it can, Cristiano Ronaldo will have a lot on his plate before his upcoming clash. The star is currently embroiled in a legal dispute against his former employer Juventus. The Portuguese has claimed that Juventus failed to pay him over $21 million in wages during his time at the club. However, the side has denied Cristiano’s claims, leading to both parties heading to a court trial.

Alessandro Del Piero is close to joining Al Nassr as their sporting director

Al Nassr is close to securing the services of Juventus legend, Alessandro Del Piero. The two parties have been in touch over the technical director position, with Del Piero edging closer to signing with the Saudi side.

Alessandro Del Piero earlier this year had commented on Cristiano’s move to Saudi Arabia. He claimed it could be an enormous boost for the Saudi Pro League. “Cristiano’s move to Al Nassr represents a quantum leap. There are a large number of those interested in sports who will be keen to know the latest news of the Saudi League. So there will be a great impact on Saudi football that will extend for a long time.”

While this could be a big move for the Saudi side, it will be interesting to see the dynamics between the former Juventus stars. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently embroiled in a legal controversy with the Italian side, claiming the side owes him $21.2 million.
