Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Al-Nassr continues to cause a lot of opinions, and one of those who decided to talk about this issue and not hold anything back was Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool player, who did not hesitate to point out that CR7's arrival in Saudi Arabia is a sad end to his career.
With an estimated salary of 200 million euros ($214 million) over the two-and-a-half years he has signed with Al Nassr, the 37-year-old is due to be unveiled to his new fans in Riyadh on Thursday, according to a club official who preferred to remain anonymous. The issue is of the utmost importance in a country that suddenly enters the world football map with this spectacular operation.
But that wouldn't be all, as the Englishman also mentioned that while Lionel Messi won the World Cup, the Portuguese knocked his career down after the remembered interview he had with Piers Morgan. "It's a sad end for him, isn't it? Ronaldo ends his career with an interview with Piers Morgan, while Messi wins the World Cup. I feel Cristiano wanted to stay at least until the end of the season at one of the big teams in Europe and score more goals. Probably in a Champions League team," he said.
However, Carragher was emphatic in saying that the fact that the 'Bicho' is coming to the Middle Eastern country is a sign that they want to bet on serious football. "Obviously we are going to see Cristiano less often now. It tells us two things: the first is that Arabia is really betting on serious football. They have invested millions in one player. They are trying to strengthen their league," he explained.
Finally, Jamie Carragher mentioned that there is a feeling of sadness because he believes he could have seen Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford for a few more years. "There is an element of sadness because we probably already saw the end at a high level I think we could have continued to see him at Old Trafford if the parties had dealt with things in the right way. In a different way. It turned out to be inevitable," he said.
