A former Real Madrid star has invited his ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to join him at his new club.
Ronaldo seems to have settled in accordingly in Saudi Arabia following his blockbuster move to Al Nassr in January.
The 38-year-old has already registered eight goals and two assists in seven game as his side are firmly in the title race, trailing log-leaders Al-Ittihad by just a single point.
Despite his two-year mega deal in the Middle East, the Portuguese striker has now received a special request to consider joining a new club.

Ex-Los Blancos star Marcelo, who recently joined Fluminense in his native of Brazil, has extended an invitation for Ronaldo to sign for the South American side.
"I sent a message to Cristiano where I said 'Chris, if you want you can come here whenever you want, you will be happy,'" the 34-year-old said during his first interview since returning to his boyhood club, according to First Sportz.
The 58-capped Selecao defender penned a short-term deal until December 2024 after canceling his contract with Greek outfit Olympiacos by mutual consent last month.
CNN Portugal reporter Bruno Andrade revealed that Marcelo also had the opportunity to join Ronaldo at Al Nassr instead but decided against the move as it was easier for the left-back to get back into action straightway.
"With Cristiano Ronaldo on his eye, Marcelo had conversations with Al Nassr, who, however, could only move forward with the signing in June, when he would still have to release a foreign vacancy in the squad," Andrade tweeted last month.
"Fluminense appeared strong in the move, convinced and was faster."
