Why did Ronaldo go to a Saudi football club? Detail revealed!
Super football player Cristiano Ronaldo has recently signed a contract with Al-Nassr, a Saudi Arabian football team. Ronaldo will represent this club until 2025.
Let us examine why Ronaldo went to a Saudi football club.
Did all the European clubs turn down the chance to sign Cristiano?
Not at all, it’s like I turned down the chance to buy a Ferrari on SALE. But the truth is that I don’t have the money to buy and manage it.
CR7’s case falls into a similar situation. There were top clubs who dreamed of signing CR7, but their salary structures could not afford his salary. Top clubs who could afford his wages didn’t want to sign a player in the middle of a season. If you buy a Ferrari, you use it and don’t keep it in your garage. It’s the same with CR7, if you get him you play him.
Is AL Nassr the only option left for Cristiano?
Not really, I’m sure there were offers from various other clubs. MLS clubs will try to sign CR7. But maybe, CR7 didn’t want to go to America with the history he has.
Moreover, he wants to get rid of all these reactions he is getting from the media. Especially after the worst year of his life. Maybe he just wanted peace and an escape from it all.
Did Cristiano do the right thing by joining a Saudi sports club?
None of us can answer that. CR7, after having such an amazing career, conquering and achieving almost everything in it, deserves all the right to make his own decisions that benefit him and his family.
As fans we want CR7 to play matches at the highest level. But this was the best decision for him personally and financially.
රොනාල්ඩෝ සෞදි පාපන්දු සමාජයකට ගියේ ඇයි? පසු විපරම!
සුපිරි පාපන්දු ක්රීඩක ක්රිස්ටියානෝ රෝනාල්ඩෝ විසින් පසුගියදා සෞදි අරාබි පාපන්දු කණ්ඩායමක් වන Al – Nassr කණ්ඩායම හා ගිවිසුම් ගත වී ඇත. 2025 වර්ශය තෙක් රොනාල්ඩෝ මෙම ක්රීඩා සමාජය නියෝජනය කරනු ඇත.
රොනාල්ඩෝ සෞදි පාපන්දු සමාජයකට ගියේ ඇයි දැයි අප විමසා බලමු.
සියලුම යුරෝපීය ක්රීඩා සමාජ විසින් ක්රිස්ටියානෝ සමග අත්සන් කිරීමේ අවස්ථාව ප්රතික්ෂේප කළාද?
කොහෙත්ම නැහැ, ඒක හරියට මම Ferrari එකක් SALE එකෙන් ගන්න තියෙන චාන්ස් එක ප්රතික්ෂේප කළා වගේ. නමුත් සත්යය නම් මට එය මිලදී ගැනීමට සහ කළමනාකරණය කිරීමට මුදල් නොතිබීමයි.
CR7 ගේ නඩුව සමාන තත්වයකට වැටේ. CR7 අත්සන් කිරීමට සිහින මැවූ ඉහළ සමාජ ශාලා තිබුණා, නමුත් ඔවුන්ගේ වැටුප් ව්යුහයට ඔහුගේ වැටුප දරාගත නොහැක. ඔහුගේ වැටුප දරාගත හැකිව තිබූ ඉහළම සමාජශාලා හට තරගාවලි වාරයක් මැදදී ක්රීඩකයෙකු හා ගිවිසුම් ගත වීමට අවශ්ය නොවීය. ඔබ ෆෙරාරි රථයක් මිල දී ගන්නේ නම්, ඔබ එය භාවිතා කරන අතර එය ඔබේ ගරාජයේ තබා නොගන්න. CR7 එකත් එහෙමයි, ඔයා එයාව ගත්තොත් ඔයා එයාව ක්රීඩා කිරීමට යොදවනව.
Cristiano සතුව ඉතිරිව ඇති එකම විකල්පය AL Nassr ද?
ඇත්ත වශයෙන්ම නොවේ, වෙනත් විවිධ සමාජ ශාලා වලින් පිරිනැමීම් තිබූ බව මට විශ්වාසයි. MLS සමාජ ශාලා CR7 සමග අත්සන් කිරීමේ අවස්ථාව උරගා බලනු ඇත. නමුත් සමහර විට, CR7 ඔහු සතුව ඇති ඉතිහාසය සමඟ ඇමරිකාවට යාමට කැමති නොවීය.
එපමණක්ද නොව, මාධ්යවලින් ඔහුට ලැබෙන මේ සියලු ප්රතිචාරයන්ගෙන් මිදීමට ඔහුට අවශ්යව ඇත. විශේෂයෙන්ම ඔහුගේ ජීවිතයේ නරකම වසරෙන් පසුව. ඔහුට අවශ්ය වූයේ සාමය සහ මේ සියලුම දෑ වලින් ගැලවීමට විය හැකිය.
සෞදි ක්රීඩා සමාජයකට සම්බන්ධ වීමෙන් ක්රිස්ටියානෝ කලේ හරි දේද?
ඒකට උත්තර දෙන්න අපි කවුරුත් සමත් නැත. CR7, එවැනි විශ්මයජනක වෘත්තියක් කිරීමෙන් පසුව, එහි ඇති සෑම දෙයක්ම පාහේ ජයගෙන සහ සාක්ෂාත් කර ගැනීමෙන් පසු, ඔහුට සහ ඔහුගේ පවුලට ප්රයෝජනවත් වන ඔහුගේම තීරණ ගැනීමේ සියලු අයිතිය ලැබිය යුතුය.
රසිකයින් වශයෙන් අපට අවශ්ය වන්නේ CR7 ඉහළම මට්ටමේ තරඟ ක්රීඩා කිරීමයි. නමුත් මෙය ඔහුට පෞද්ගලිකව සහ මූල්යමය වශයෙන් හොඳම තීරණය විය.
ரொனால்டோ ஏன் சவுதி கால்பந்து கிளப்புக்கு சென்றார்? பின்தொடரவும்
சூப்பர் கால்பந்து வீரர் கிறிஸ்டியானோ ரொனால்டோ சமீபத்தில் சவுதி அரேபிய கால்பந்து அணியான அல்-நாஸ்ருடன் ஒப்பந்தம் செய்துள்ளார். ரொனால்டோ இந்த கிளப்பை 2025 வரை பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்துவார்.
ரொனால்டோ ஏன் சவுதி கால்பந்து கிளப்புக்கு சென்றார் என்பதை ஆராய்வோம்.
அனைத்து ஐரோப்பிய கிளப்புகளும் கிறிஸ்டியானோவை ஒப்பந்தம் செய்யும் வாய்ப்பை நிராகரித்ததா?
இல்லை, விற்பனையில் ஃபெராரி வாங்கும் வாய்ப்பை நான் நிராகரித்தது போல் இருக்கிறது. ஆனால் அதை வாங்கி நிர்வகிக்க என்னிடம் பணம் இல்லை என்பதுதான் உண்மை.
CR7 இன் வழக்கும் இதேபோன்ற சூழ்நிலையில் விழுகிறது. CR7 இல் கையொப்பமிட வேண்டும் என்று கனவு கண்ட சிறந்த கிளப்புகள் இருந்தன, ஆனால் அவர்களின் சம்பள அமைப்புகளால் அவரது சம்பளத்தை வாங்க முடியவில்லை. அவரது ஊதியத்தை வாங்கக்கூடிய சிறந்த கிளப்புகள் ஒரு பருவத்தின் நடுப்பகுதியில் ஒரு வீரரை ஒப்பந்தம் செய்ய விரும்பவில்லை. நீங்கள் ஃபெராரியை வாங்கினால், அதைப் பயன்படுத்துங்கள், அதை உங்கள் கேரேஜில் வைக்காதீர்கள். CR7 க்கும் அப்படித்தான், நீங்கள் அவரைப் பெற்றால் நீங்கள் அவரை விளையாடுவீர்கள்.
கிறிஸ்டியானோவுக்கு AL Nassr மட்டுமே எஞ்சியுள்ளதா?
உண்மையில் இல்லை, வேறு பல கிளப்களில் இருந்தும் ஆஃபர்கள் உள்ளன என்று நான் உறுதியாக நம்புகிறேன். MLS கிளப்புகள் CR7 இல் கையெழுத்திட முயற்சிக்கும். ஆனால் ஒருவேளை, CR7 தனக்கு இருக்கும் வரலாற்றுடன் அமெரிக்கா செல்ல விரும்பவில்லை.
மேலும், அவர் ஊடகங்களில் இருந்து வரும் இந்த எதிர்வினைகளில் இருந்து விடுபட விரும்புகிறார். குறிப்பாக அவரது வாழ்க்கையின் மோசமான ஆண்டுக்குப் பிறகு. ஒருவேளை அவர் அமைதி மற்றும் அதிலிருந்து தப்பிக்க விரும்பினார்.
கிறிஸ்டியானோ சவுதி ஸ்போர்ட்ஸ் கிளப்பில் சேர்ந்து சரியானதைச் செய்தாரா?
அதற்கு நம்மில் யாரும் பதில் சொல்ல முடியாது. CR7, அத்தகைய அற்புதமான வாழ்க்கையைப் பெற்ற பிறகு, அதில் உள்ள அனைத்தையும் வென்று சாதித்த பிறகு, தனக்கும் அவரது குடும்பத்திற்கும் பயனளிக்கும் தனது சொந்த முடிவுகளை எடுக்க அனைத்து உரிமைகளுக்கும் தகுதியானவர்.
ரசிகர்களாகிய நாங்கள் CR7 போட்டிகளை மிக உயர்ந்த மட்டத்தில் விளையாட விரும்புகிறோம். ஆனால் தனிப்பட்ட முறையிலும் நிதி ரீதியாகவும் இதுவே அவருக்கு சிறந்த முடிவாகும்.

ICC Team to Visit Sri Lanka Amid Cricket Administration Shake-Up
A delegation from the International Cricket Council (ICC), including a senior representative linked to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka this weekend as attention grows over recent changes to the country’s cricket administration.
According to India’s Press Trust of India (PTI), ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja is expected in Colombo on Friday night, with another top ICC official who also serves in a leading capacity within the BCCI due to arrive on Saturday.
The visit comes in the wake of the Sri Lankan government’s decision to appoint an interim committee to manage the affairs of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) following the resignation of its leadership.
Sports Minister Sunil Kumara Gamage confirmed during a televised interview that discussions with ICC representatives are expected to take place in the coming days regarding the future direction of cricket administration in the country.
The newly appointed nine-member interim body was established on April 29 after SLC President Shammi Silva and members of the Executive Committee stepped down from office.
Government officials say the temporary panel will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day cricket operations, introducing administrative reforms, and preparing the groundwork for fresh elections within Sri Lanka Cricket.
The ICC visit is expected to focus on governance issues, the transition process, and the stability of cricket administration during the interim period.

RCB Bring in Gleeson After Thushara Exit; CSK Add Kuldip as Injury Cover
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have roped in experienced England pacer Richard Gleeson as a replacement for Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara ahead of the IPL 2026 Knockouts.
Thushara was unable to join the Bengaluru franchise after failing to secure a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket. The board reportedly withheld approval because the pacer did not meet the required fitness benchmarks set by the national setup.
RCB have signed Gleeson for INR 1.6 crore. The 38-year-old seamer brings previous IPL experience, having represented both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in recent seasons. Gleeson featured in two matches for Chennai in 2024 and made a single appearance for Mumbai in the 2025 campaign. He has also represented England in nine T20 Internationals.
Thushara, who was bought by RCB for the same amount in 2025, played one game during the franchise’s championship-winning run last season. Despite being retained for IPL 2026, his participation was blocked after the NOC issue emerged.
The Sri Lankan quick had initially taken legal action against the cricket board regarding the matter, but later withdrew the case and issued a written apology. Court documents reportedly indicated that Thushara had considered stepping away from international cricket, although no final decision on his future has yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have announced Indian pacer Kuldip Yadav as a replacement for injured left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed.
Khaleel’s season was cut short after he suffered a right quadricep injury during Chennai’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. Before the setback, he had claimed two wickets in five appearances while maintaining an economy rate of 8.67.
Kuldip, a right-arm pacer, previously represented Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, making three appearances across the 2021 and 2023 seasons. Chennai have secured his services for INR 30 lakh.
