CRISTIANO RONALDO’s arrival has seen Al-Nassr’s Instagram following increase by an incredible SEVEN MILLION.
The Portugal ace has undergone his medical ahead of his record move to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo was then unveiled in front of his new fans at an open training session at their Mrsool Park stadium on Tuesday.
Prior to the superstar making the switch to the Middle East, Al-Nassr had an Instagram following of around 800,000.
But since he officially joined the club on Friday, their audience has gone through the roof.
In fact, it’s creased by more than 7m to over 8m.
That’s more than several Premier League clubs, including West Ham, Everton and Newcastle.
In fact, only the traditional top six have more in England’s top-flight.
Ronaldo is the most followed person on the social media app below Instagram’s own account, with the ex-Manchester United man boasting more than half a billion fans.
Al-Nassr, who went top of the Pro League by beating Al-Khaleej on New Year’s Eve, are next in action on Friday when they host Al-Tai.
