Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend has expressed herself on her stay with Ronaldo in Manchester
Georgina Rodriguez, partner of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, has opened up about her profound relief when he departed Manchester United for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
In the latest season of her Netflix series, I Am Georgina, Rodriguez shared candid insights into the challenges they faced during Ronaldo's tumultuous second stint at Old Trafford.
Rodriguez revealed, "When Cris told me he was going to play for Al-Nassr, I was so relieved because I really wanted to leave Manchester."
Ronaldo’s return to Manchester in 2021 was met with high hopes, but his time there became overshadowed by controversies, including explosive criticisms of the club's management and coaching staff.
The move to Al-Nassr presented an opportunity not only for Ronaldo to secure a lucrative contract—reportedly the biggest of his career at £156 million—but also for the couple to embark on a new chapter.
