Cristiano Ronaldo affirmed that there is no chance of him playing club football in Europe again, adding that the Saudi Arabian league is better than Major League Soccer (MLS).
“I’m 100% sure I won’t return to any European club. I opened the way to the Saudi league… and now all the players are coming here,” Ronaldo said.
“European football has lost a lot of quality. The only valid one and still doing good is the (English) Premier League. They’re way ahead of all the other leagues,” the player continued.
The remarks came just a day after Lionel Messi was unveiled by US side Inter Miami after it was announced earlier this summer that he would be joining the Florida-based team in a £45million-per-year deal.
Ronaldo joined Saudi Al-Nassr following his exit from Manchester United last season in a whopping £ 175 million-per-year deal.
Many other players followed him out to the Middle Eastern country, including Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Steven Gerrard.
On a separate note, FIFA recently announce that Al Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team, has been prohibited from enlisting new players due to unpaid debts.
