I’ve Achieved Everything In Europe, I’m done with Europe- Ronaldo on his Saudi move

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has finally been unveiled by Saudi side Al Nassr after leaving Manchester United.

Christiano Ronaldo has paid his dues to football in Europe and on the international stage. He has nothing to prove to be relevant in football history.

The Portuguese forward and captain left his former club as a free agent after several controversial issues which led to the termination of his contract by mutual understanding.

The 37-year-old was unveiled yesterday where he stated that he has won everything in Europe and it’s time to try a new challenge elsewhere.

I won everything, I played for the most important clubs in Europe. Now it is a new challenge in Asia.

Ronaldo is reportedly set to receive the biggest football salary in history at more than £177m per year in a deal that runs until 2025.

As nobody knows, I can say now I had many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, Australia, the US, even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me,” Ronaldo told reporters at his first media conference.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was greeted with applause and shouts of his trademark ‘Siu’ celebration as he spoke. He answered questions from a club official but took none from reporters.

Ronaldo said about his contract with the nine-time Saudi Pro League champions. He described the contract as unique but I’m a special player, so for me, it’s normal.

I know the league is very competitive, I saw many games. I hope to play after [Wednesday] if the coach thinks there’s a chance. I’m ready to keep playing football.

Al Nassr head coach Rudi Garcia said signing Ronaldo was “fantastic” for Saudi Arabia. Before you go, kindly Follow Us for more exclusive news updates. We are on all social media platforms.
