Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked for weeks with a move to Saudi Arabia. Now the head of the association has taken a stand.
The World Cup in Qatar ended in major disappointment for the soccer star. Portugal lost 1-0 to sensational team Morocco in the quarter-finals. The 37-year-old missed his last chance to become world champion. Ronaldo, who lost his starting job during the World Cup, ran away crying to the locker room immediately after the final whistle.
However, the five-time world footballer still does not think about the end of his career. Although Ronaldo is no longer under contract with Manchester United after his scandalous interview with British journalist Piers Morgan. The club agreed with Ronaldo to terminate the contract, which would last until the end of the season.
Indecent offer from Saudi Arabia
Since then, there has been heated speculation about where Ronaldo will continue his football career. An immoral offer from Saudi Arabia continues to haunt the media. Ronaldo can therefore earn up to 200 million euros a year including advertising revenue. In any case, the president of the Saudi association Yasser Al-Misehal has publicly supported the transition from the Portuguese star kicker to Al-Nassr, even though the president of the association actually has no power.
“We would like to have this player in our league. We want to surprise by signing more top-level players from all over the world. As an association we would be more than satisfied,” the most powerful man in Saudi football told the Spanish ‘Marca’. In any case, a move from Ronaldo to Al-Nassr is “a possibility,” Al-Misehal said. World Cup hosts Qatar are said to be interested in leading the goalscorer in the Qatar championship.
However, Ronaldo probably plans to continue playing football at the highest level, so the only option is to move to Europe. However, there are no interested parties yet.
