Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to rumours linking him with an exit from Al-Nassr, confirming his next career step
Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo has reiterated his desire to stay at the club after recent rumours linked him with a move back to Europe.
Ronaldo reacts to exit rumours
Ronaldo was absent as Al-Nassr beat Al-Fateh 3-0 in the final game of the Saudi Professional League season, sparking rumours that he could be on his way out of the club, but the Portuguese forward has now refuted the stories linking him with a summer transfer.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in a blockbuster deal in January after his contract was terminated by Manchester United, and he expressed his intention to help the Saudi Pro League grow into one of the best in the world.
After only six months in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has had to reiterate his initial plan to help Saudi Arabia’s football grow.
Ronaldo confirms intention to stay at Al-Nassr
Ronaldo confirmed that he has no intention of leaving Saudi Arabia earlier than planned, as he still has one and a half years on his current contract.
Ronaldo was quoted by Spanish outlet Relevo as saying, “I want to continue here. I will continue here, and I think if they keep doing it the way they want to do it, in the next few years the Saudi League can be among the top five in the world.”
The Portuguese forward was unable to help Al-Nassr win any silverware in his first half-season, despite scoring 14 goals in 19 games in less than six months with the club.
His comments suggest that he will try again next season, as he could potentially welcome more stars to the Saudi Pro League.
