As The Pitch Prospect has learned, Wojciech Szczesny will be Cristiano Ronaldo’s new teammate in Saudi Arabia.
Juventus have given the Polish goalkeeper the green light to leave Turin; Michele Di Gregorio from Monza is moving to Juventus.

Szczesny is expected to receive more than £12.5 million annually for the move to the Saudi Pro League.
That equates to more than £250,000 a week for the former Arsenal player.
He would not be the first former Arsenal star to be linked with Al Nassr this summer, with Alexandre Lacazette close to a move.
Szczesny began his career with the Gunners and made 181 appearances for the Premier League giants.
He won the FA Cup twice and the Community Shield before leaving the club when Petr Cech arrived.
After a loan to Roma, he moved to Juventus in 2017 and established himself as a key player.
Szczesny has made 252 appearances for the Old Lady, winning three Serie A titles and three Coppa Italia titles.
During this time, he was a teammate of Ronaldo for three years, who played for Juventus between 2018 and 2021 after leaving Real Madrid.
The Portuguese superstar left Turin for Manchester United in the summer of 2021 and spent a season and a half at Old Trafford before completing his move to Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

While Szczesny has an important decision to make about the future of his club, his immediate priority is the 2024 European Championship, where he will face Poland.
Poland starts its campaign on Sunday, June 16, against the Netherlands.
They also face France, Austria and the Netherlands in Group D and the goalkeeper will be hoping to add to his 81st cap for his country’s senior national team.
