After seeing his previous contract at Riyadh arrived at an expiration, Ronaldo, five -time winner of the Ballon d'Or, has engaged in even more exceptional conditions which guarantee him to remain the best paid sports star on the planet.
Ronaldo had been strongly expected to leave Al-Nassr before agreeing to stay, the 40-year-old, still in great shape, having apparently been frustrated by the tangible lack of success he has known in the past two and a half years.
CR7 continues to pursue its goal of 1,000 career goals
Several clubs in South America and Europe participated in the Club World Cup in the United States have expressed their interest in CR7. However, he preferred to decline these offers to take advantage of a relaxed summer break with his partner Georgina Rodriguez and children.
Ronaldo told the official Al-Nassr media team: ”
I have received several offers to play the World Cup, but I think it didn't make sense, because I prefer to rest and prepare well, because this season will be very long, with the World Cup at the end of the year.
The best paid sports star on the planet
I want to be ready not only for Al-Nassr, but also for the national team. This is why I decided to play the last match of the League of Nations and not to listen to anything. And of course, to be in this club, which I love. »»
