Cristiano Ronaldo looks likely to face Lionel Messi as Paris Saint-Germain are set to play an 'all-star XI' in a friendly in Riyadh on January 19.
It would be the Portuguese's first game since joining Al Nassr, albeit not in their colours.
PSG confirmed the fixture will form part of the French champions' traditional winter tour, which will see them spend time in Doha, Qatar, and then Saudi Arabia between January 17-19.
The Saudi XI vs PSG will face is set to contain players from the country's top clubs, Al Hilal and Al Nassr, and with Ronaldo having moved to the latter, he will line up opposite PSG's Messi - provided the Argentine features - with Ronaldo's presence in the team confirmed by Al Nassr boss Rudi Garcia.
It would be the Portuguese's first game since joining Al Nassr, albeit not in their colours.
The timing of the match has not gone down well with Garcia however, who reportedly told L'Equipe: "As the coach of Al Nassr, I cannot be happy with this match.
"For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later.
