Ronaldo said he is proud to have opened the way to the Saudi Pro League.
“I am 100% percent sure I won’t return to any European club. I am 38 years old and European Football has lost a lot of quality.
‘Saudi Pro League is better than MLS‘- Ronaldo
After his team’s preseason loss to Celta Vigo by a score of 5-0, he addressed the media in Portugal where he said that he doesn’t want to play in America or return to Europe.
According to Ronaldo, the Major League Soccer (MLS) is inferior to the Saudi Pro League. “The Saudi league is better than MLS,” he said.
This came after he asked if he could join the MLS where his long-time rival, Lionel Messi moved to Inter Miami.
