Madrid: There is an influx of world-class players to the Saudi Pro League. The coveted money brings the stars to Saudi Arabia. After Cristiano Ronaldo came to Al Nasr last season, many people from European football have come to Saudi. Karim Benzema, Ruben Neves, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, Marcelo Brosovich and others are prominent people who have come to the Saudi Pro League.
Cristiano is now talking about the quality of the Saudi League. Ronaldo was speaking to the media after Al Nasr’s pre-season friendly against Celta Vigo. Cristiano claims that Saudi’s league is better than Major League Soccer. Lionel Messi was introduced to Inter Miami fans the other day. Cristiano was responding to a question on whether he would switch to MLS in the future.
Cristiano says that he will not go to the United States or to a European club. As he explains… “I am 38 years old. I will not play for any other European club. I feel that European football has lost its quality. Only the English Premier League has quality in Europe. The Premier League has a higher standard than any other. The Spanish league does not have that level. The Portuguese league is good but not good enough. The German league is no different. Definitely won’t play in Europe again. “I want to play in Saudi Arabia,” Ronaldo said.
Meanwhile, Al Nasr lost to Celta Vigo 5-0 in the pre-season match. Al Nasr will face Portuguese champions Benfica in another match on Thursday.
