Sport: Cristiano Ronaldo break silence on his transfer from man United to Saudi Arabia
Ronaldo transferred to Juventus in 2018 and made his return to Manchester United in 2021 after a 12-year absence. Unfortunately, his second tenure with the Red Devils turned out to be problematic.
His contract was terminated shortly after he made serious allegations against United's manager Erik ten Hag and the club's leadership during an interview with Piers Morgan. Although Ronaldo aimed to join a competitive European club, he ultimately accepted an enticing offer of £156 million from Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
It appears that Rodriguez was also eager to leave Manchester. In the latest season of her Netflix series, 'I Am Georgina', the 30-year-old expressed her relief upon learning that Ronaldo would be moving again.
"When Cris informed me he was going to play for Al-Nassr, I felt such relief because I really wanted to leave Manchester," Rodriguez shared. She continued, "I sensed that something significant awaited us, and we were very motivated.
I was thrilled to come to Saudi Arabia."
Despite Ronaldo securing the most lucrative contract of his career, Rodriguez acknowledged that relocating their family to a new country and culture posed challenges.
"Everything unfolded so rapidly," she remarked. "Initially, I experienced some ups and downs since we had never stayed in a hotel for such an extended period.
There were days when I preferred not to be seen, but overall, I was very excited."
The hotel she mentioned was the Four Seasons in Riyadh, where Ronaldo and his family resided in the luxurious Kingdom Suite.
This suite was one of 17 rooms occupied by his entourage, which included friends, family members, and security personnel.
Although Ronaldo and his family have since moved into a house, he incurred a hotel bill estimated at over £250,000 during their stay.
Since joining Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has netted 63 goals in 70 appearances across all competitions.
He has made a strong start in this year's Saudi Pro League, scoring three goals in four matches. Ronaldo continues to be a prominent figure in the league.
