That's not it mate, it's not about the money, Ronaldo has had everything amassed since his career in the world of football.
Manchester United did not appreciate the existence of Ronaldo in their squad which made the two parties have to part ways that were not harmonious. Ronaldo is also having trouble finding a club on the European stage after his status as unemployed even though he has lowered his salary.
Al Nassr came as a savior for Ronaldo, he is much appreciated there. Ronaldo will also receive a high salary that is difficult for other players to solve, including Messi.
I think and I share your thought, what made CR7 fall was that incident with his little daughter who lost her, I honestly don't blame him, being a father can sometimes make you bigger and it doesn't matter if the world falls on you, but losing a son, life completely collapses, what CR7 saw in the Saudi team was the best option to get out of the criticism and go enjoy and once again take joy in football, something that they never considered next to a manager that he did not care about his family and especially a Ten Hag that for me has no merit (even if they win for now) so this team that offered him so much money would have been quite foolish to have rejected him, CR7 has achieved a lot, the only thing that What is missing is the World Cup, which should not be given up yet.
problems with teammates or if indeed he wants to return to Barca, of course, that must be considered properly. especially with Barca's finances, of course, there would be better talks to reach a deal.
35 years is indeed enough to retire but for Messi I don't think he will go that fast regardless of anything even if he wants to spend his old age I think he will still continue to play at least for the next few seasons.
Now with his current age he is still very fit and still able to continue to compete even though his skills are still above average so retirement is definitely not a hope for him now.
I think that Messi is a player who should not retire so soon, with the potential that he has a good age for him to retire at 40-41 years old, I don't see anything wrong with giving us 4 more years of demonstration of great football, in addition, the Argentina team needs him a lot, I also highlight that he is a fundamental piece for any team, I know that there are players who are relatively young like Haaland, Mbappé, but I think they still have not reached his level, he The closest is Mbappé, however he still needs to have a lot of maturity and be a little more humble, although he is a very, very good player.

In my very personal opinion, I would love for Messi not to stay at PSG or Barcelona, but in Arab fútbol.
