Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out returning to European football, which in his opinion “has lost a lot of quality”, and assures that he prefers to play in Saudi Arabia, which will continue to receive more top-level players because he “opened Pandora’s box”.
In statements to the press in the Algarve (south of Portugal) after the game between his team, Al Nassr, and Celta de Vigo (5-0 defeat), Cristiano assured that “it is not worth it” to return to Europe, given his age and the decline in quality of their leagues, with the exception of England.
“That door is completely closed. I’m already 38 and a half years old and it’s not worth it. From my point of view, Europe has lost a lot of quality. The only league in the world, for me, that is at a higher level than all of them, is the Premier League. I don’t think even the Spanish league has that much quality, ”he said.
The former Real Madrid player also refused to join Lionel Messi in the United States’ MLS.
“I think the Saudi Arabian championship is much better and in time it will be very strong,” he opined. “Cristiano has opened Pandora’s box and now everyone is going to Arabia, coincidence or not,” she stressed.

Cristiano Ronaldo assured that the Saudi Arabian league “in three years would be the fifth best league in the world, but if it continues like this, this year it will go to the Turkish and Dutch ones.”
“Where Cristiano is, there is more interest and I knew that the Arab league would be like that. Not only this season, because surely more people will go next year”, he predicted.
And it is that while the MLS has recently signed Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, several soccer figures have left Europe and have signed with clubs in the Saudi league this year.
