Saudi Arabian club

Cote d'Ivoire midfielder Franck Kessie has departed FC Barcelona to join the Saudi Arabian club, Al-Ahli, for a transfer fee of 12.5 million euros.

Rudi Garcia, the coach of Al Nassr, has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo will make his debut for the Saudi Arabian club as part of an exhibition team in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which could pit him against Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo said in a statement that he was “eager to experience a new football league in a different country.”
