Ronaldo closes door on return to Europe

Agency :
Cristiano Ronaldo said there is no chance of him playing club football in Europe again and that the Saudi Arabian League is better than Major League Soccer (MLS), where his great rival Lionel Messi has chosen to begin the next chapter in his career.

Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr in December on a 2-1/2 year contract following his exit from Manchester United, said he had paved the way for other top players to sign with Saudi teams and that more would make the move to the desert kingdom.

The 38-year-old Portugal captain, speaking after Al-Nassr’s 5-0 loss to Celta Vigo in a pre-season friendly on Monday, said most European Leagues were in decline.
“I’m 100 percent sure I won’t return to any European club. I’m 38-years-old,” ESPN quoted him as saying.
