Ronaldo didn't expect such a question.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo again made headlines in the global media on the same day.
The Argentine officially announced that he would not return to Barcelona and would join Inter Miami. At the same time, the Portuguese landed in Madrid to present his new business - a mineral water brand.
Ronaldo's press conference took place earlier, and at that time, it was yet to be known where Messi would continue his career. After the presentation, one of the fans approached Cristiano and asked him what he thought about Messi moving to Saudi Arabia, where Cristiano himself plays.
Ronaldo was surprised by the question but tried to answer politely:
"I don't want to talk about football right now. I welcome all players
who want to move there."
Messi and Ronaldo could have ended up in the same championship again if the world champion had chosen the generous offer from Al Hilal.
But the sheiks have already acquired two superstars - Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante have already joined the new champion of Saudi Arabia, Al Ittihad, which surpassed Ronaldo's Al Nassr in the last season.
