“I am 100% sure that I will not return to any European club. European football has lost a lot of quality. The only one that remains valid and is doing well is the Premier League. They have a head start on all the other championships”, estimated Cristiano Ronaldo who lost 5/0 with his Al-Nassr teammates during a friendly match against Celta Vigo. The Portuguese was also asked about signing Lionel Messi from the United States and claimed that ‘the Saudi league is much better than the US league’.
The most famous number 7 also boasted of making the Championships where he plays attractive. “In Italy it’s the same. When I joined Juventus the league was dead, and after I signed it came back to life. Wherever Cristiano goes, there’s interest in him,” detailed the ex-Madrilenian. Since signing in Saudi Arabia, many European players have joined the kingdom. This is for example the case of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Marcelo Brozovic, Roberto Firmino, Ruben Neves, Edouard Mendy or more recently Seko Fofana. Other football stars could still follow suit.
