Recently, 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo found himself at the center of a scandal, ruling his own strike through dissatisfaction with the way transfer budgets are distributed at the Close Meeting. After five years of winning the Ballon d'Or, having missed three matches, everyone immediately became aware of the possibility of turning their attention to Europe or a sensational move to MLS, where their one-time rival Lionel Messi will compete..

However, Ronaldo returned to the game and on Saturday helped his team defeat Al-Hazem with a score of 4:0, scoring two goals. This victory allowed Jorge Jesus' team to return to the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.

Afterwards, the Portuguese made it clear that he has no plans to terminate his lucrative contract, which runs until 2027.

Yes, I'm so happy. As I have said more than once, my heart goes to Saudi Arabia. This is the land that has warmly welcomed me, my homeland and my friends. I’m happy here and I want to continue to enjoy my life here,” Ronaldo told reporters.

He also spoke about the importance of team results: “The most important thing is that we continue to press. We're on top. Our job is to outmaneuver, put pressure on competitors for the title, and wonder what will happen. “We are in the right way, we are in good form, and we sing at home,” said the Portuguese.

This season, Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored 20 goals, claiming his third Golden Boot in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the attacker is approaching the 1000 goals mark for his career and is likely to win his first great trophy at the Close Gathering.
