FIFA 23 update makes Ronaldo a free player

In FIFA 23 Career Mode, Cristiano Ronaldo is now a free player, following his departure from Manchester United. In real life, he has now signed for Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr FC after his bankruptcy at Manchester.

Even if you don’t know much about football, the name Ronaldo is still familiar to almost everyone. The well-known footballer, whose full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, has become an integral part of the sport and is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time. 

When it comes to FIFA 23 Career Mode, he’s always a player that the community follows and wants on their team. The 37-year-old Portuguese played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus Turin, among others. Now Ronaldo has decided to embark on a new adventure as he has signed a contract with a team in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo changes teams

Because of his career choices in real life, the famous soccer star now appears in FIFA 23 as a freelance player as well. In a Reddit thread, FIFA 23 fans discussed Ronaldo’s new status as a free player and his value in the game. One user claimed they got him for $29,000 and a $100,000 bonus. “That was the bare minimum I could get”. Ronaldo was last back at Manchester United, a team he previously played for, and had great success there.

But this time things weren’t looking so good and his return wasn’t as bombastic, to say the least. Ronaldo’s performance at Manchester has been questioned and he rarely appeared on the field. Furthermore, Ronaldo’s on-field tantrums and outbursts were viewed as unprofessional by fans and commentators alike. In short, Ronaldo was criticized most of the time he was with Manchester. So it’s no wonder that he looked around for another option. And he found it too.

Reboot at Al-Nassr

The soccer star recently signed for Al-Nassr FC, a Saudi Arabian team. Time will tell if FIFA 23 will update Ronaldo’s club status, but for now, he appears to be a free player.

Streamer iShowSpeed recently announced that he had been invited by the club to meet Ronaldo, probably to boost his image a bit. iSpeed ​​has been making waves for their hilarious FIFA videos lately, so meeting Ronaldo is sure to make for some exciting moments.

So far, Ronaldo is the only footballer in the world who has won championships with his teams in Italy, England, and Spain. He has been named “Footballer of the Year” a number of times and has received the “Golden Shoe” award for the best goalscorer several times.
