His €200m contract includes a clause allowing the Portuguese superstar to be loaned out to Premier League side Newcastle United, which, like Al-Nassr, is majority-owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the newspaper reported.
The condition is that Newcastle land in one of the top four places in the Premier League and thus participate in the Champions League. That could work: Newcastle are currently third. Then the five-time Champions League winner could compete again in the premier class.

There was no official confirmation of the newspaper’s presentation by Tuesday. “Marca” did not name a source either and only let it be known that they “were able to find out”.
The “welcome ceremony for the world’s best player” will take place on Tuesday at Msool Park, as Al-Nassr announced on Twitter on Monday. According to the media, tens of thousands of fans are expected. After the inglorious departure from Manchester United and the reserve role for Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, the five-time world footballer without a club switched to the second-rate league in Saudi Arabia.
