The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to Al Nassr from Saudi Arabia is already a fact, the Portuguese will go on to earn a fortune of $200 million per season and at 37 it is possible that it will be one of his last steps in football before his retirement.
But not only Cristiano won with this transaction, as the Saudi team is already beginning to see the media fruits of hiring the winner of 5 Ballon d’Ors and that is that the team’s official Instagram grew more than 300% in less than 24 hours.
Before the World Cup, Al Nassr had just over 500k followers on the social network, it had great growth during the World Cup when rumors of Cristiano’s arrival intensified and they reached 800k. But after the signing of the Portuguese was made official, the account reached 4.4M followers in a few hours.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the person with the most followers on Instagram with just over 525M, which also contributed to the growth in followers of his new team’s account; something similar happened in 2021 when Messi arrived at PSG and the French club gained just over 1 million followers.
