Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr have gained over 7.1 million followers on Instagram in just three days after the announcement of the signing of Portugal star, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Gatekeepers News reports that their Instagram page showed that the club followership had taken a quantum leap from 850,000 followers before Ronaldo’s official unveiling to 7.1 million as of the time of filing this report.
