Nobody expected that Cristiano Ronaldo would spend the twilight of his career in Saudi Arabia.
But after his explosive interview with Piers Morgan which saw his contract terminated by mutual consent at Manchester United, he didn't seem to have many options. At the time of the interview however, a move to Al-Nassr did not seem part of the plan.
Morgan and Ronaldo seemed to imply in the now infamous interview that the player was above a move to Saudi Arabia. The interviewer said during the broadcast: "If it was just about money, you'd be in Saudi Arabia earning this king's ransom, but that's not what motivates you."
