Cristiano Ronaldo Experiences Record Dip in FIFA 23 Rating Following Al-Nassr Move in Saudi Arabia. Discover His New FIFA 23 Rating!
Following a public dispute with manager Erik ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United have mutually decided to part ways. Ronaldo’s benching during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar further intensified the situation, with his substitute Goncalo Ramos scoring a hat-trick in the subsequent game.
At 37 years old, the football star has secured a lucrative contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, making him the highest-paid player in history with an annual salary of £160 million. It has also been rumored that he will serve as an ambassador for the country’s bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
After weighing options in various continents, Ronaldo chose to join the Saudi Arabian Pro League, marking his first appearance in a match outside of Europe throughout his illustrious career.

What has been Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in FIFA 23 after his move to Al-Nassr?
Alongside Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo has consistently been ranked among the top five players in every FIFA game for the past decade. However, his run as one of the highest-rated players came to an end after he made the move to the Middle East, resulting in his rating slipping to 88 in FIFA 23.
Initially starting the season with a rating of 90, Ronaldo’s Ultimate Team card has now dropped to 88, accompanied by a decline in his in-game statistics. For instance, his dribbling has decreased from 84 to 81, and his stamina has gone down from 74 to 70. The last time Ronaldo’s rating fell below 90 was in FIFA 11. Despite this modest drop in his rating, Ronaldo will still hold the position of his team’s highest-rated player in FIFA 23, with his lowest rating in previous editions being 87, which occurred in FIFA 07.
Despite the changes in his rating, FIFA players are likely to be eager to play with Al-Nassr due to the presence of the veteran superstar on the team. However, it’s worth noting that the Saudi Arabian roster has not been updated yet in the game. As a result, players will have no other choice but to play with Portugal in Kick-Off mode or use Ronaldo as a free agent in Career Mode if they want to include him in their squad.
