Former Al-Batin president,Nasser Al-Huwaidi, has said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Hilal will be announced soon.
According to him, the veteran Portuguese scorer is on the verge of leaving Al Nassr for rivals, Al-Hilal.
The huge deal, which would see the former Manchester United forward play in the FIFA Club World Cup, is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
The former Real Madrid man, whose current deal expires in June, is set to become a free agent.
The 40-year-old Portuguese would join any club on a short-term deal to feature in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The former Juventus man has been linked with a move to Wydad Casablanca, Palmeiras, Botafogo and Al-Hilal in recent weeks.
Al Hilal appears to have won the race to sign the legendary striker as Al-Huwaidi recently stated.
He said via Kooora, “Cristiano Ronaldo is close to joining Al Hilal, and this deal will be announced in the coming days.
“The legend’s arrival at Al-Hilal will give the Club World Cup a huge boost, and Al-Hilal will have the highest attendance in the tournament.
“Al Hilal will certainly sign three international names in addition to Cristiano, which will enable the team to perform at a high level and satisfy its fans.
“Ronaldo is currently better than Mitrovic, and I don’t think Al Hilal fans will object to his arrival. Rather, they will welcome him as long as he adds value to the team and contributes to winning trophies.”;;
