Super Eagles of Nigeria captain Ahmed Musa has opened up on his thoughts about Cristiano Ronaldo’s mega-money move to Al Nassr.
Musa played for Al Nassr between 2018 and 2020, during which he won the 2018-19 Saudi Arabia top-flight diadem and the 2019 Saudi Super Cup, while scoring 11 goals and creating 14 assists in 58 appearances for the Saudi League giants.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Pulse Sports Nigeria, he said:
‘As you can see, he [Ronaldo] is doing well. He has scored a lot of goals. It’s my former club, and I’ve won a lot of trophies before I left. I’m still wishing them all the best, because they[Al Nassr] are part of me. So, I always watch their game and I wish him [Ronaldo] and the club all the best in the end of the season.’
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in December 2022, having signed a mouth-watering £173million-a-year deal, with the legendary Portuguese taking the number 7 jersey previously won by the Super Eagles skipper.
