"Cristiano Ronaldo, after joining a Saudi Arabian team last year, has left fans believing that his move was merely a temporary measure, and that he would eventually return to playing in one of Europe's top five leagues. However, those hopes might be in vain, as Ronaldo recently stated in an interview that he will never return to European football, citing his age of 38 as the reason for closing that door. Instead, he seems content with his current situation in Saudi Arabia and even mentioned that the Saudi league is improving.

In a post-match interview following a friendly victory in July, Ronaldo was asked if he would return to playing in Europe. He responded by firmly stating that he would not, emphasizing that the door to Europe is now completely closed for him. However, he did express a positive view of the Saudi league's progress, noting that many talented players are joining the league.

From Ronaldo's perspective, European football is losing some of its key players, including well-known stars like Benzema, Firmino, and Koulibaly, who have all made moves to the Saudi league. He believes this is a significant blow to European football, and as a pioneer who opened the door for the Saudi league's rise, he thinks that many other top players are now eager to join.

When asked about a comparison between the Saudi league and Major League Soccer (MLS), Ronaldo's response favored the Saudi league by a considerable margin. He expressed that the Saudi league is much better and that he has no plans to consider playing in the United States. He remains focused on improving the Saudi league and his team.

The Saudi league does indeed appear to be on the rise, and Cristiano Ronaldo, as the first major star to join it, has played a part in its development. However, the future of the league will continue to be observed with interest."

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is saying this now, but it might not be the case if he leaves Saudi Arabia.

But the English Premier League is still amazing, with its long history and tremendous vitality.

He may want to go back, but there needs to be someone who wants him. There will definitely be interest, but if they can't afford his salary, can he consider taking a pay cut to return to one of the top five leagues?
