The Saudi club offered Ronaldo £173 million to join its ranks, reports from earlier this month indicated.
The 37-year-old Portuguese star terminated his contract with Manchester United last month.
“Al-Nassr Saudi Arabia officially contracts with Cristiano Ronaldo for two seasons,” Alarabiya wrote.
In an interview last month, Ronaldo said that he had turned down a previous offer from a Saudi club worth £3 million a week.
“It’s hard. It’s hard. But in the same way, I thought that I was very happy here; that I [am] still capable to score goals and make people happy,” he has said of his decision to turn down the tempting offer.
“I still believe that I can score many many goals and help the team because I still believe that I’m still good and capable to help national team – even Manchester United,” he said in the interview as reported by British newspaper The Sun.
But it now appears the Portugal international, whom many fans see as the best player for the past decade, has finally decided to join the Saudi league after failing to receive an offer from an elite European club.
