In a statement, Ronaldo stated that he wants to "experience a new football league in a different country." He had abruptly quit Manchester United in November after giving an inflammatory interview to Piers Morgan in which he criticized the team and manager Erik ten Hag.

As he searches for a permanent residence in Riyadh, it is reported that the athlete and his family would remain in a classy hotel located in the city.
