Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo pledged to remain in Saudi Arabia next season on Thursday despite failing to land any silverware since his lucrative move to the oil-rich kingdom.<\/p>\n

\n

Ronaldo\u2019s January signing for Al Nassr has been followed by speculation about how long he will stay, including reports of a swap deal with Saudi-owned Newcastle United who have now qualified for next season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n

But the 38-year-old said in an official Saudi Pro League interview: \u201cI am happy here, I want to continue here, I will continue here.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in my opinion if they continue to do the work that they want to do here, for the next five years, I think the Saudi league can be a top five league in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronaldo\u2019s 14 goals in 16 league appearances were only enough for a second-place finish for the Riyadh club, a favourite of some senior Saudi royals.<\/p>\n

In January, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus marksman signed a two-and-a-half year deal said to be worth more than 400 million euros.<\/p>\n

He admitted some Saudi conventions had taken him by surprise, including late-night training sessions during the fasting month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Europe we train more in the morning, but here we train in the afternoon, or evening and in Ramadan we train at 10 at night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is so strange, but as I tell you these situations are part of an experience, memories. I like to live these moments because you learn with these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI expected to win something this year, but we didn\u2019t, but next year I am really positive and confident that things will change, and we go in a better way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
