According to the Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, Simone Inzaghi spoke with Cristiano Ronaldo for a half an hour toward the end of the month of June. During that time period, the Italian tactician discovered the boat belonging to CR7 on the island of Sardinia.

 

In the chat, Inter Milan’s head coach said that he was sorry that Ronaldo had chosen to join Al Nassr: “Cristiano, why did you decide to go to Saudi Arabia? I can help you get 40 goals…

 

Reliable sources in Europe say that CR7 will make up to 200 million euros per year after joining Al Nassr.

 

But the Portuguese superstar claimed that he didn’t come to Al Nassr because he thought he would get good care. “For me, the main reason I play football in Asia is not to make money. I already have a lot of European sports trophies. So I wanted to find a different task in a different environment and have a different experience in Asian football,” Al Nassr No. 7 said.

On the other hand, Odion Ighalo is of the opinion that CR7’s adventure in Al Nassr is motivated by financial gain. “Does Ronaldo continue to play because he enjoys the game? Even though Ronaldo has an annual income that is one hundred times more than mine, he still travels to Saudi Arabia. You do this out of love for each other? It’s all about the money, man. During an interview on OmaSportsTV, the former Manchester United striker stated, “We play football to make money.”
