Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to reporters for the first time Tuesday since signing a blockbuster deal with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, a shocking move following his departure from Manchester United and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Just before the end of December, the 37-year-old forward signed a deal that is reportedly expected to pay him $75 million per year over the life of the contract. Al-Nassr agreed to the deal less than a month after Ronaldo and Manchester United “mutually agreed” to part ways on Nov. 22 following an unauthorized and inflammatory interview between Ronaldo and Piers Morgan earlier that month.
