With the biggest names in football currently spending time with their families and loved ones during the offseason, Al-Nassr and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo shared a training video on his social media account, where he can be spotted shaking a leg on South African music and fans are in awe with his dancing skills.
After joining the Saudi Arabian club in January 2023 from Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo ended the 2022-23 season as the fifth leading goal-scorers in the Saudi Pro League despite joining the league mid-season. However, Al-Nassr failed to win the league title as Al-Ittihad won their ninth league championship last season.
During the offseason, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner regularly posts pictures and videos from his vacation with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, and their children. Recently, the 38-year-old Portuguese took to his official Instagram handle and posted a workout video, where he can be spotted dancing to South African music "Amapiano". He captioned the post, "Feeling good 💪🏽," and tagged his own mineral water brand called Ursu9.

Talking about the Saudi Pro League, many football stars across the globe have turned their interest toward Asia, since Ronaldo's transfer to Al-Nassr. Following Ronaldo's steps, players like Karim Benzema (Al-Ittihad), N'Golo Kante (Al-Ittihad), Roberto Firmino (Al Ahli), Hakim Ziyech (Al-Nassr), and Ruben Neves (Al Hilal) among others have joined the Saudi Pro League for the 2023-24 season.

Earlier in the last season, Ronaldo claimed in a post-match conference that Saudi Pro League is doing "great work" and could become a top-five league in the world in the coming years if they continue working at the top level.
The Saudi Pro League will commence its 2023-24 season in August and Ronaldo will play two UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifier matches against Slovakia and Luxembourg on September 8 and 11 respectively. Portugal are currently at the top of Group J with four wins in four matches so far.
