Benzema & Messi To Saudi Arabia? CR7 Sends Message

Benzema & Messi To Saudi Arabia? CR7 Sends Message

Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message to Saudi Arabia-linked Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema following his first season in the Middle East.

Check Out: Ronaldo Confirms Where He Will Play Next Season

Speaking in an interview this week after making the move to the Saudi Pro League in the January transfer window, the 38-year-old confirmed he would be continuing at Al Nassr for the 2023/24 season.

Rumours suggest that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner could soon be joined in the Middle East by some high-profile players, such as his long-time rival Messi and ex-Real Madrid teammate Benzema.

Asked his opinion on the possibility of the two superstars taking their careers to the Gulf country, Ronaldo said he believes the Saudi Pro League would become even greater if they arrived.

"They are welcome... the league will improve, and it currently has wonderful foreign and Arab players," he said, according to Goal.  

Despite finishing the campaign without any silverware, Ronaldo has enjoyed an impressive goalscoring his record at Al Nassr, scoring 14 goals in his first 19 appearances across all competitions.
