Portuguese midfielder Al-Nasr Cristiano Ronaldo saidWhich clubs may have signed him before he moved to a team from Saudi Arabia.
Nobody knows this, but now I can say this: I had many options in Europe, I had many clubs in Brazil, Australia, the USA. Even in Portugal many teams tried to sign me but I promised this club to improve not only football but also other things in this wonderful country.
For me this is a serious challenge. For me, this is a good opportunity to change things, to help improve many important aspects with my knowledge and experience,” Ronaldo said at a press conference at the new club.
