"Definitely (he is happy)” - Piers Morgan reveals what Cristiano Ronaldo told him about life in Saudi Arabia

British journalist Piers Morgan recently provided an update on Cristiano Ronaldo's life in Saudi Arabia. The 37-year-old's infamous interview with Morgan triggered his exit from Manchester United.

Ronaldo criticized many aspects of the Premier League club, including its owners and infrastructure, in the interview.

 He also claimed that there was no mutual respect between him and manager Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils terminated the Portuguese forward's contract with mutual consent in November.

Ronaldo has since joined Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr as a free agent. The move marked an end to the UEFA Champions League's record goalscorer's career in European football.

Ronaldo's fans have been wondering how the 37-year-old is adjusting to life in the Middle East. According to Piers Morgan, Ronaldo is having a grand time in Saudi Arabia. Morgan told Tatler:

"Definitely (he is happy), I’ve swapped a few texts with him, and he’s absolutely loving it, on and off the pitch."

Before his move to Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo had only represented elite European clubs in his career. Sporting CP, Manchester United (twice), Real Madrid, and Juventus are the four clubs he played for during his time in Europe.

 Hence, many believe he has taken a step down in terms of the level of competition with the transfer.
