During his first press conference after having just joined Al Nassr, football star Cristiano Ronaldo committed a bit of a foul when saying that he is happy to be moving to South Africa instead of to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo told the press that it is not the end of his career to move to South Africa, despite having just signed for Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr.

His deal with the team is said to be worth around £175million per year, with the Portuguese player saying that he had many opportunities and offers to join European clubs. However, he insisted that his ‘work in Europe is done’, defending the deal as it came under some scrutiny.
It’s unknown whether Ronaldo addressed the mistake later, but its rather strange for the player to mistake the team offering him arguably the biggest salary in football history for another.
