after an extremely spicy TV interview with UK presenter in which he criticised the club’s manager and owners. After his departure, Ronaldo said he was (obviously) approached by “many clubs” that wanted one of the all-time greats on their side. “Nobody knows this, but I had many opportunities in Europe, Brazil, Australia, the US, even Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me. I gave my word to this club,” the 37-year-old who’s originally from Portugal told a press conference on Wednesday. “I want to give a different vision of this country and football. This is why I took this opportunity.” Ronaldo ultimately chose the team offering him the biggest salary a football player will have ever received.
