Fernando Santos on Cristiano Ronaldo
Former Portugal coach Fernando Santos has stated that Cristiano Ronaldo secured his future by moving to the Saudi Pro League in 2022. He believes that the Portuguese superstar moving to Al Nassr was not worse than joining any other European side.
Speaking to Egyptian Channel 1 (via OJogo), Santos stated that Ronaldo is a world-class player and knew what he was doing by moving to the Middle East. He claimed that the former Manchester United star joined Al Nassr for the money they were offering and said:
"Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr is an incredible decision, but it is a unique experience, and Al Nassr is no different to European clubs. The atmosphere in Saudi football is wonderful. Cristiano is a world-class player and was looking to secure his future."
