Last month, the Al Nassr striker helped his side to a historic Asia Cup win in Iran.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has five UEFA Champions League titles to his name, captained the Saudi Arabian side to an opening three points in Group E.
It marked the first time a Saudi club played in Iran since 2016 after the AFC announced a “ground-breaking agreement” earlier this month between the two countries federations.
