CRISTIANO RONALDO’s sister has tipped him to “make history once more” following his sensational Saudi transfer.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner completed a free transfer to Al Nassr on Friday, just over a month after having his Manchester United contract ripped up.
And his supportive sister was quick to praise the footy legend after the mega deal was officially announced.
Katia Aveiro shared a picture of her brother holding up the Al Nassar shirt to her Instagram story, in which she wrote: “Pride of my life… to make history once more.”
Aveiro has never shied away from sharing her thoughts on Ronaldo’s career – including his second stint at Old Trafford.
In a dig at Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag, she wrote: “No-one who was born to shine by the hands of God will be undone by someone who has never worn his shoes.

Talks over a mega-money move to Saudi began shortly after Ronaldo’s Manchester United contract was terminated in response to his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo is looking forward to getting stuck into his new challenge, saying: “I’m thrilled for a new experience in a different league and a different country.
“The vision that Al Nassr has is very inspiring.
“I am very excited to join my team-mates, to help the team to achieve more success.”
It’s unknown if Ronaldo will play in Al Nassr’s clash with Al-Khaleej this evening.
The former Real Madrid man could, however, make his debut against Al-Ta’ee next Thursday.
