Cristiano Ronaldo enthusiastically addressed his new Al Nassr fans whilst jetting to Saudi Arabia to complete a medical after agreeing his sensational £175m-a-year move to the club.
Sharing a story to Instagram on Monday afternoon, the buoyant Portuguese superstar pointed to the camera whilst winking and said: 'Hi guys, see you soon!'.
Ronaldo, who cut an excited and relaxed figure ahead of his trip to the Middle East, left Manchester United acrimoniously in November after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, which criticised both the club and manager Erik ten Hag
Ronaldo is set to undergo his Al Nassr medical on Tuesday ahead of the club's official unveiling of the 37-year-old superstar later that day.
According to Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, Al Nassr are ready to 'throw a party' at the same level of Ronaldo's Real Madrid unveiling in 2009.
Announcing the news on Instagram, the club proudly displayed the hashtag 'Cristiano is yellow' with an image of him performing his trademark celebration.
Ronaldo's wife Georgina Rodriguez also took to Instagram to post pictures of what appeared to be the plane to Saudi Arabia. The 28-year-old model accompanied her gallery of images with the caption: 'Not without me!'.
It is understood the veteran and his family will stay in a luxury hotel in the capital while he looks to find a fixed residence in Riyadh.
Should Ronaldo prove he is fit enough to feature against Al Ta'ee on Thursday, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner could well earn his Al Nassr debut this week.
Although Thursday's Saudi Pro League clash may present too difficult a turnaround in terms of match sharpness, manager Rudi Garcia will be keen for the ex-Red Devils striker to build up some crucial minutes ahead of his side's top-of-the-table showdown against Al Shabab next Saturday.
As Al Nassr must wait a fortnight until they next host a match at Mrsool Park, the Saudi club will no doubt want Ronaldo to feature on Thursday before having to wait two more weeks to show off the all-time great to their fans.
Should Ronaldo miss out versus Al Ta'ee, he will likely make his home debut against Ettifaq on January 21.
It is only a matter of time until the Portuguese icon plays his first match outside of a European league, having starred for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus previously during his illustrious career.
On New Year's Eve, head coach Garcia bizarrely risked upsetting Ronaldo as he told reporters that he wanted to sign Lionel Messi first, following the Argentine's World Cup heroics last month.
When asked about Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia, Garcia jokingly admitted: 'First I tried to take Messi'.
The French coach, formerly of Roma, Marseille and Lyon, took charge of Al Nassr back in June.Having fallen out of favour with both Ten Hag and former Portuguese manager Fernando Santos during the World Cup, Ronaldo has made a habit of holding tense relationships with his bosses.
