Cristiano Ronaldo would have considered a move to Celtic or Rangers in order to further cement his Champions League legacy.
That’s according to Piers Morgan, who has defended the Portuguese superstar’s mega money move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr. Ronaldo negotiated his exit from Manchester United prior to the World Cup after an explosive interview with Morgan, in which he savaged Old Trafford boss Erik Ten Hag and the club’s board, many suspect in order to make sure he left the English Premier League giants.
Morgan insists he hasn't done it for the money, but to help grow the game in the Gulf state. The broadcaster says Ronaldo told him his first choice was to join a club that could offer Champions League football in order to break further records in the competition. However, no offers made to the player were deemed acceptable – somewhat contradicting Morgan’s point – and he opted for Al Nassr, who have made him the highest-paid footballer in history.
