Looks like Cristiano Ronaldo is finally looking to stop new adventures in soccer. The former Manchester United had an impatient closing to Juventus and Manchester United careers. Saudi Arabia appears to be the perfect fit for Cristiano Ronaldo. The country has made a tremendous start to its new soccer journey, and Ronaldo himself seems to be getting more motivated. He is now planning for an extension of his $500 million stay at Al Nassr with hopes of the next World Cup with the Portuguese national team.
One country that will be happy to gain popularity for soccer is Saudi. Even though it wasn’t aimed at the national team, their investments for the past few years are a sign of its growing culture for the sport. The Gulf was involved in buying some big teams in Europe, and now they are pulling in players.
