Cristiano Ronaldo has once again insisted that other high-profile players will follow his lead and move to Saudi Arabia in the coming years - just days after Lionel Messi snubbed a lucrative move to the Middle East.
Plenty of eyebrows were raised when Ronaldo, 38, decided to sign with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr back in December after leaving Manchester United, but the multi-time Ballon d'Or winner stressed he was eager for a new challenge after accomplishing everything he had set out to achieve in Europe.
The Portuguese superstar predicted not long after his switch that other top stars would join him in Saudi Arabia. And even though Messi has opted to spend the twilight years of his career elsewhere, Ronaldo has doubled down on his initial claim.
