Cristiano Ronaldo: After Ronaldo made a surprising move to Al-Nassr in January, the club has lost its lead at the top of the Saudi Arabian top division. At the moment, they are three points behind the league winners, Al-Ittihad, who lost their game on Thursday.
Riyadh’s hopes went up when the Portuguese ace signed a deal worth a world record of £173 million per year. Ronaldo has scored 12 league goals in 15 games for his new team, but Al-Nassr has lost the top spot and been kicked out of the Saudi Arabian Cup because of this.
Ronaldo has only scored one goal in his last four games for the Saudi Arabian club, and he hasn’t scored in six of his last nine games. Reports say that he not only wants to leave the club, but that he is also set on going back to his old team, Real Madrid.
“I know that sometimes the big contracts that players sign in Saudi Arabia trick them,” Rivaldo was quoted as saying by Diario AS. “But then, life there is farther away, and your football may not be as easy as you thought it would be.”So, he may be going through a time of sadness and maybe even thought. So maybe the money he is getting makes up for the fact that he is not very happy right now.
The former Brazil player then said that Lionel Messi, who has been linked with a move to Al-Nassr’s city foes Al-Hilal, will have the same experience as Ronaldo: “This happens to all players, and Messi will soon see this.”
Rivaldo then said about Ronaldo’s future, “It would be good for him and for football if Cristiano Ronaldo finished his career at Real Madrid. Fans should know that they can’t expect him to play like he did when he was 25 or 26 years old, but he can still help the club win more titles.
Ronaldo wants to go back to Real Madrid, where he scored an almost unbelievable 450 goals in 438 first-team games, but club president Florentino Perez is thought to have turned him down because he doesn’t think the forward will help the club’s sports project.
But it has been said that Perez has offered Ronaldo a job as a representative at the club when he stops playing. Ronaldo hasn’t decided what he will do yet.
