Cristiano Ronaldo joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in a shock, record-breaking move on 30 December 2022. Ronaldo has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal (until June 2025), becoming the highest-paid athlete in the process. According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the superstar is set to earn around $200 million per year during his stay in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo’s switch to Al Nassr came after his mutual contract termination at Manchester United.
The club and the player parted ways following Ronaldo’s explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, where he criticized United’s owners as well as coach Erik ten Hag. According to various sources, Ronaldo’s agent at the time, Mendes, advised him against giving that interview. Ronaldo overlooked his advice, which led to Mendes dropping his superstar client after over 20 years together.
Now, a source close to Mendes has come out swinging at Ronaldo, accusing him of having a supersized ego and unrealistic expectations.
He also claimed that the Portugal legend’s inability to deliver on the pitch as well as his unrealistic demands discouraged European clubs from showing interest in him.
Brazilian great Juninho says Cristiano Ronaldo’s new Al-Nassr boss will willingly serve him breakfast if needed
Arguably the best free-kick taker in history (77 free-kick goals), Juninho Pernambucano has lashed out at Cristiano Ronaldo’s new Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia. Garcia served as Olympique Lyon’s head coach before taking up the Al Nassr job and worked closely with Juninho, who was the French club’s Sporting Director at the time.
Juninho slammed Garcia’s self-serving attitude and claimed that he would go above and beyond to please Ronaldo’s ego.
