Ronaldo, who has been credited for the sudden spurts of explosive growth and expansion of the Saudi League, is reportedly unsettled by reports linking Mason Greenwood to a move to the league.

However, other Saudi clubs are reportedly plotting a move for the embattled youngster to give him a career lifeline.
Now, according to reports reaching us from the Sun, Mason Greenwood’s move to Saudi Arabia may not materialize due to the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a long time grudge with the player.
When Cristiano Ronaldo was plying his trade at Real Madrid, Mason Greenwood was credited with an infamous comment about the five times Ballon d’Or winner.
