While acknowledging Bayern Munich as a “world-class club,” Ronaldo stated he felt “at ease” with his choice, adding, “I don’t know what will happen in the future but I feel very calm about the decision I’ve taken.” The revelation comes as fans continue to analyze Ronaldo’s career trajectory following his departure from United in late 2022.
The 39-year-old’s move to Al-nassr in December 2022 marked a notable shift in his career, moving him to the Saudi Pro League.
