"A wonderful country to live in"
The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo announced last June that he plans to live in Saudi Arabia for the rest of his life, explaining that this was one of the reasons for renewing his contract with Al Nassr team.
He continued that Saudi Arabia is a great country to live in because of the peace and safety.
It should be noted that Al Nassr team had announced that the Portuguese captain renewed his contract until 2027 to continue in its ranks beyond celebrating his 42nd birthday.
Ronaldo joined the Saudi club on a two-and-a-half year free transfer deal in 2022 after leaving Manchester United. Since then, he has scored 99 goals in all competitions.
Ronaldo indicated in a video posted by Al Nassr at the time on the platform "YouTube": My family always supports my decisions, and we are happy here in Saudi Arabia and have a beautiful life. Saudis treat us in a very very wonderful way, that's why we want to live in it and complete our lives in it.
"The most beautiful World Cup in history in 2034"
He added: My goal, of course, is always to win important titles with Al Nassr "I still believe in that and that's why I renewed my contract for an additional two years because I believe that I will be a champion in Saudi Arabia".
Furthermore, he believes that the Saudi league is one of the top 5 strongest league championships in the world, and those who participate in it know it, saying: "I am sure that the 2034 World Cup will be the most beautiful in history".
