"I am excited to experience a new football league in a different country. The vision of what Al Nassr are doing and developing in Saudi Arabia both in terms of men’s and women’s football is very inspiring. We can see from Saudi Arabia’s recent performance at the World Cup that this is a country with big football ambitions and a lot of potential.

Cristiano Ronaldo has no deadline for retirement

Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his possible retirement and said that he was not thinking about retirement. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar was enjoying his time on the pitch and said (via OJogo):

"I implemented something in my life which is to live in the present and not think too much about the future. That's what I instill in my life, and it's going very well, because I'm enjoying it. I don't have many more years to be able to play. I don't know about giving a deadline, because maybe tomorrow I'll get up and say I don't feel like playing anymore. At the moment, I don't feel that. I'm enjoying it and I'm very happy, regardless of not winning."

Cristiano Ronaldo signed a new deal at Al Nassr on Thursday, June 26, extending his stay until 2027.
