Shortly before the turn of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo signed with Al Nassr. In Saudi Arabia, the 37-year-old will improve his account balance again. However, this change was not his first choice.
CR7 would have loved to tie their shoes again with an ambitious Champions League club. For example at Real Madrid, where he spent nine extremely successful years. Ronaldo has been seen in the Spanish capital remarkably often in recent weeks, his son Cristiano jr. (12) is also switching back to the royals, according to the Spanish media.
Real didn’t want Ronaldo
However, Real did not want the superstar back, writes ‘Marca’. According to the largest Spanish sports newspaper, it was decided internally some time ago not to reopen this chapter. “Only a few (within the club, editor’s note) mourned his departure and his subsequent absence”the ‘Marca’ formulates quite drastically.
So now Ronaldo will put his still great skills to work for Al Nassr. The club coached by Rudi Garcia is currently the leader of the Saudi Pro League. However, this does not actually meet the sporting demands of the over-ambitious icon.
