Cristiano Ronaldo says the Saudi league will one day be one of the top 5 leagues in the world!

Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing for Al Nassr in the top Saudi league since the middle of this season. After his last league game, he expressed the opinion that the local league will one day be one of the top 5 leagues in the world!

The shattering transfer of the Portuguese superstar took place in the middle of this season, specifically in the winter transfer window after the Qatar World Cup.

Many of his supporters wished for a change of destination instead of Manchester only still within Europe, but that didn’t happen. Ronaldo shines in a Saudi Al Nassr jersey, is goal-productive and is certainly not afraid to make bold statements.

He made one of them in the post-match interview of the duel against Al Shabab, where, among other things, he decided the triumph of his team with a goal scored at 3: 2.

“The Saudi league is getting better, next season it will be a bit better again. Step by step I think this competition will be one of the top 5 leagues in the world.

But they need time, they need players, they need to build infrastructure. But I believe this country has great potential, there are amazing people here. In my opinion, this league will be great”, the famous Portuguese let himself be heard in a TV interview.

With 2 rounds of the Saudi Professional League remaining, Al Nassr are currently in 2nd place with 3 points behind leaders Al Ittihad FC. Ronaldo has already managed to score 14 goals and assist 2 more since his arrival in the Arab continent.

However, despite his flattering words not only to his current employers, there is still a big question mark hanging over his future.

Despite his fabulous salary, the striker is reportedly not completely satisfied at the Riyadh club and would like to return to Europe, the most prestigious football continent.

Even if his stint in the Arab world is indeed so short-lived, it is clear that Ronaldo has made local football more visible than anyone before him.
