So, Christina Rinaldo has completed the most moneyed move in football history.

He's joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Nasser, where he'll earn a reported 173 million pounds a year.

Coming up we'll discuss how that deal was done and what awaits Rinaldo after a pretty

strange six months of walkouts, tears and that interview. I mean Irving and

this is the Athletic Football Podcast.

Late in the night at old Traffords, the game is not up, the whistle has not gone, but Christina Ronaldo is no longer in the stadium.

He's in the stadium, but he's nowhere near the pitch.

What's just happened, Clinton?

He's walked down the tunnel. I just saw him, I don't know where he's going, but he has walked down the tunnel.

Yes, I feel betrayed and I felt that some people that don't want me here, not only this year, but last year too.

Christina Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement with immediate effect. The Qatar World Cup offers a final chance at glory for both Leonel Massey and Cristiano Rinaldo on the international stage. Saler Ramos, that's why he was picked.

The man chosen here.

And Ronaldo has blasted Portugal ahead.

If it was just about money, you would be in Saudi Arabia by earning this king's ransom but you that's not what motivates you

You want to keep at the top because I thought I I still believe that I can't score many many goals and help the team.

Breaking news, Christina Ronaldo has signed for Saudi side Al Nasser.

Another round of applause to our great player and star, Christiano Rinaldo.

It's not the hand of my career to come in South Africa.

This is why I want to change.

And to be honest, I really don't worry

about what the people say.
