Shift for Cristiano Ronaldo has never been probably probably

Executive director Al Hilala Esteve Calzada says the move to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for a short -term contract so he could play on the club World Cup has never been a realistic proposal.

Al Hilal was associated with the Portuguese superstar, which will soon be without a contract in Al Nassra and allegedly desperately desperately played in the Summer Tournament in the United States.

Ronald’s signature was “counter-utuitive”

But Calzada admitted that he had signed a player from the Rival Al Hilal – although both are owned by the Saudi Arab Fund for Public Investments – always little likely.

Said the BBC: “We usually do not comment on players’ situations, especially because our name has always been put there, when a player or agent wants to negotiate a better agreement with their club or tries to move out.

“It was a very strange transmission, it was a very short time.

“You do not want to make a decision thinking about this tournament with which you have to continue for the next two or three years.

“How much I respect Ronald as a huge player, as we all recognize that it is, it is certainly a completely counter intuitive to bring in the greatest player of your biggest opponent to play with you.

“Even more when it’s only three to four weeks.”

Al Hilal expected to be busy in another transfer window

The first transfer, presented for clubs participating in the World Cup club, is now closed and the second is open.

And Al Hilal is expected to be busy connected to Victor except Victor and Darwin Nunez.

Calzada added: “We were trying to see if we could strengthen the team. But some players thought of” holidays “, some players were sometimes just looking for too much money, and we are aware that our team is extremely competitive.

“We will enter the traditional transfer after the tournament with the biggest ambitions to see if we can increase the team even more.”

Al Hilal starts a World Cup campaign at the club against Real Madrid on June 18, before facing RB Salzburg four days later and concluding his group stage against Pachuca on June 27.
