Al-Nassr chief exec Guido Fienga has no doubts Cristiano Ronaldo is fully committed to the club and the Saudi Pro League.
Fienga has detailed what it's like working with the Portuguese great.
"After Cristiano there is only Cristiano," he said at the World Football Summit. "He is not just a player, he is building the future of this country's football industry.
"Now he does it from the field, later he will do it outside. He will be in this project for a long time."
The Italian manager, former executive director of Roma, praised the Portuguese for what he was able to build beyond his role as a footballer: "It is so important that I cannot limit it. His role is more than just a player. There is no other who, after having been the best in his sport, wanted to make his business vision a reality. He is a protagonist today and will be even more so in the future."
He added, "They perceive us as the Real Madrid of this region and there is enormous expectation. We want to be an international brand and our fan base is growing."
