Even before that, not many clubs really wanted him after his interview with Piers Morgan, he kind of ended his own career after making a very controversial statement. attacking his own club, which in the end Ronaldo closed the possibility of playing in the top European league clubs. even though Mendes has worked hard to offer it to almost many clubs, he is even willing to cut his salary by 30%. even so, none of the clubs really want him, all the news related is just rumours.
Actually many clubs didn't want him because if his outrageous salary and general contributions ti the team. He is getting older and can't be that old Ronaldo that destroy any team that he comes in contact with. Clubs couldn't afford Ronaldo that's why he want to a club that can afford him
Saudi Arabic spoke with Ronaldo and told him there version for football over there and Ronaldo buys into their ideal so he joined and off course they offerred him a contract he couldn't reject. There are even rumors of Messi wanting to kove the Saudi Arabia league of only they'll double the contract (amount) given to Ronaldo.
Anybody that watches Ronaldo play can testify of his greatness. Even while he's on international duties he's still scoring goals at the age. Portugal games against Liechtenstein saw Ronaldo netting twice and even scored a free kick. Whenever Ronaldo is on form, that forms continues in whatever tournament he participate in. Al Nassr has given back Ronaldo form because he's happy at the club and not the bondage he was in at Manchester united. This players are humans too so we should expect human behavior from them at times and not every time looking for professional behaviors.
I really don't know which club you are referring to. in fact, after Ronaldo and Piers Morgan's interviews neither club really wanted him. even before, Todd Boehly wanted to bring him to Stamford Bridge. however, unfortunately it was just a discourse that never materialized.
But I agree with the salary issue, even though Mendes has negotiated with several clubs plus reduced 30% of his salary. but still, Ronaldo's salary is very high. one more thing, I agree that Ronaldo is too old and that could change the plans of the team. regardless, it's not that many clubs can't afford it. because, he is a free transfer status. so, the point is the issue of salary and age.
To be honest, we have never doubted Ronaldo's greatness, skill, talent, speed, he has it. but, when he was fresh and young. for now as we can see, Ronaldo is not that impressive. naturally, the age factor makes someone not as agile as when he was young. for Al Nassr, I have discussed it many times. so, this time I will not discuss it.
by the way, Liechtenstein is ranked 198th. Naturally, if Portugal gets a landslide victory which in fact they are in 9th place. plus, Ronaldo's contribution, pretty good.
