Cristiano Ronaldo shoots the transfer window before the opening

Despite rumors announcing him leaving for the next summer transfer window, Cristiano Ronaldo will not return to Europe knowing that he plans to stay in Saudi Arabia.

Landed in Al-Nassr after his last World Cup with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo had a rather successful debut in the Saudi championship. Author of 14 goals and two assists in 16 games, the 38-year-old striker has however failed to expand his record, since his club has won neither the championship nor the cups. Far from the Old Continent, where he made Real Madrid, Juventus or Manchester United happy, CR7 could have had desires elsewhere to find the workforce of a major European club in order to compete in the next League of Champions. There were even rumors of a potential departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. But it will not be seen that the former glory of Real Madrid remains concerned by the Saudi project.

Saudi Arabia as strong as Ligue 1?

“I am happy here, I want to continue here and I will continue here. In my opinion, if the leaders continue their work in the next five years, the Saudi League can be among the top five leagues in the world. My expectations were a little different coming here. To be honest, I was hoping to win something this year. Sometimes you need patience and perseverance to achieve your goals. We have made a lot of progress. The team has come a long way in the last 5-6 months. Even in the championship, the teams have progressed. The league is very good but I think we have a lot of opportunities to grow further… They need to improve the infrastructure a bit more. Even the referees, the VAR system, should be a bit faster…I think they need to improve other little things”, explained, on the Saudi Pro League channel, Cristiano Ronaldo, who therefore seems determined to go through with his contract at Al Nassr to receive his 400 million euros. Even if Newcastle, owned by Saudi Arabia, were to offer him to play the Champions League again?
