Cristiano Ronaldo made the move to Saudi Arabia after the 2022 World Cup, joining Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr on a lucrative contract. And it doesn’t seem like he has any interest in a return to Europe based on what he told reporters on Monday.
Ronaldo indicated that a return to European soccer was off the table, citing the decline in quality across most of the top leagues. The 38-year-old also dismissed MLS, suggesting he felt the Saudi Pro League provided a bigger challenge and was a “better” league.
“Saudi league is better than MLS,” Ronaldo declared, per Fabrizio Romano, one day after Lionel Messi was unveiled by Inter Miami.
