Cristiano Ronaldo is about to join Al Nassr in Austria for the pre-season training phase. Although not yet available in Europe, CR7 is still the center of attention.
The hotel where Al Nassr are staying has attracted hundreds of fans, forcing the team to close all training sessions to ensure absolute privacy and safety for the players and coaching staff.
According to Austrian media, Ronaldo will be accompanied by 16 individual bodyguards. This team has been arranged by the club in advance. This is part of the special provisions of the contract that he extended until 2027, including being provided with a full-time support team, from security guards, personal assistants to health professionals.
In fact, Al Nassr has started to tighten security since Ronaldo joined in early 2023. The presence of a global star makes every move of the club attract the media and fans.
Not only is Ronaldo protected on the field, he also strengthens the security of his family. In April 2025, he replaced the entire bodyguard team and hired a Portuguese security expert - Claudio Miguel Vaz as the bodyguard chief.
The CR7 family also moved into a luxury apartment in Riyadh, equipped with an anti-trend system, a basement and 24/7 surveillance, following a number of safety threats on social media.
At the age of 40, Ronaldo is still proving that he is not only a legend, but also a brand with great appeal in the world of football.
Returning to expertise, with Al Nassr facing Al Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup semi-finals on August 19, the training period in Austria is considered an important momentum for Ronaldo and his teammates.
