Ronaldo ends rumors about staying in the Saudi Pro League
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al-Nassr, has ended the speculation about his future in the Saudi Pro League.
After a recent dispute with league officials over winter spending and the pace of the transfers, Ronaldo confirmed he intends to stay in Saudi Arabia.
In remarks to Eighty Channel, Ronaldo said, as he has said before, that he belongs to Saudi Arabia, that the country welcomed him and his family, and that he is happy here and hopes to stay.
He also celebrated Al-Nassr’s 4-0 win over Al-Hazm, a game in which he scored twice.
Ronaldo said the team started very well, created numerous chances, and deserved more goals, but the result and the leadership matter most.
He added that the key was the victory, clean sheets, and the opportunity to press the title rivals, while the season still has many twists.
The win lifted Al-Nassr to the top of the standings with 55 points, one ahead of Al-Hilal, who drew 1-1 with Al-Ittihad and remained second.
