Cristiano Ronaldo was tricked into joining joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, according to Brazil legend Rivaldo.
The 38-year-old has been in Saudi Arabia since January after he parted ways with Manchester United before the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Ronaldo has netted 12 goals in 12 appearances in the Saudi Pro League, but has made headlines for his behaviour after certain games, which included yelling at his own coaches.
Rivaldo says he would like to see the five-time Ballon d'Or winner return to the Spanish capital where he should finish his career
"I understand that sometimes the players are fooled by the big contract they sign in Saudi Arabia , but then life there is more closed and football is not always as easy as expected," Rivaldo told Mundo Deportivo.
"So, you may be going through a phase of some disappointment and even reflection. If the money you're getting makes up for the not-so-happy life you're living right now.
"It would be good for him and for football to see Cristiano Ronaldo return to Real Madrid to finish his career.
"Of course, the fans have to understand that they cannot demand the same from him as when he was 25 or 26 years old, but he can still help the club in more conquests."
