ALBAWABA - Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday evening to start his training with Al Nassr Football Club. Amid the fuss, Ronaldo has created since joining the Saudi team, his ring grabbed more attention.

An Instagram story was shared by Ronaldo talking to his fans while on his private jet to Saudi Arabia. Cristiano says: "Hi guys, see you soon."

What was more catchy is that the football star was wearing a ring with a shiny, huge diamond. Some people claimed that the ring belongs to his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez; others jokingly said that he started to buy diamonds after getting his Saudi money.

The yellow diamond ring's cost is estimated at $240,000 and it was worn by the star earlier at the Dubai International Sports Conference in 2019, the Sun reported.

Ronaldo's around $200 million contract with Al Nassr club split the internet in the latest weeks as people debated whether it is considered a better opportunity for his career or did he join the Saudi team only for the money.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Ballon d’Or five times, is also staying in a luxurious Saudi hotel. He will play for Al Nassr until June 2025.
