The transition to Cristiano Ronaldo was not likely

The CEO of Al Hilal Esteve Calzada says that the step to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in a short -term deal so that he could play in the club’s World Cup, was never a realistic proposal.

Hillal has been linked with the Portuguese star, who will be soon outside the contract in Nasser and was desperate to play in the summer championship in the United States.

The signing of Ronaldo was “an axiom”

However, Kalzada admitted that a professional league player in the league – although they were owned by the Saudi General Investment Fund – was always unlikely.

“Usually we do not comment on the positions of the players, especially since our name is always placed there, when a player or agent wants to negotiate a better deal with his club, or try to go out,” he told the BBC.

“It was a very strange transport window, it is a very short period of time.

“You do not want to make a decision to think about this tournament, which you have to continue during the next two or three years.

“As I respect Ronaldo as a huge player, as we all realize, it is certain that it is completely intuitive to attend the largest player from your biggest opponent to play with you.

“More when it is only for three to four weeks.”

Hillal is expected to be busy in the second transport window

The first transfer window, which was presented to the clubs participating in the club’s World Cup, and the second open.

Hillal is expected to be busy after being linked to the likes of Victor Osimin and Darwin Nunez.

“We were trying to find out if we could strengthen the team. But some players were with the mentality of” holidays already “, and some players sometimes were asking a lot of money, and we realize that our team is able to compete.

“We will go to the traditional transfer window after the tournament, which is still with the largest ambitions to see if we can strengthen the team more.”

Hillal begins her campaign in the World Cup against Real Madrid on June 18, before facing RB Salzburg after four days and concluded her group stage against Pachuca on June 27.
