Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be coming to Major League Soccer anytime soon.
Ronaldo was asked about Lionel Messi’s move to MLS after Al-Nassr’s 5-0 loss to La Liga’s Celta Vigo on Monday in Portugal. Ronaldo quickly shut down that idea and even ruled out a return to Europe.
“The Saudi league is better than MLS,” Ronaldo said, via ESPN.
“I opened the way to the Saudi league, and now all the players are coming here,” he added.
Ronaldo signed a reported nine-figure deal to join the Saudi Pro League club in December, a move that was long expected after his tumultuous exit with Manchester United.
