Cristiano Ronaldo's agent has now taken a big stance on the player's potential move to a certain European league.
With Ronaldo set to be out of contract in at the end of the season at Al Nassr, there is speculation brewing regarding what is next for the Portuguese superstar.

Aged 39, Ronaldo recently confirmed that he is not considering retirement any time soon as he still sees a future in international football, particularly.
"That's all from the press. It never crossed my mind that my cycle [with Portugal] had come to an end," Ronaldo said in a press conference last week while on national team duty, according to ESPN. "Quite the opposite: It gave me even more motivation to continue, to be honest."
While it is unclear what the future holds for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner at club level, his agency, Gestifute, was quizzed about whether or not a move to the Russian Premier League would be on the cards.
"Will Ronaldo come to the RPL before the end of his career? It is impossible," Gestifute told Telecom Asia Sport.
Notably, all Russian clubs and national teams were banned from partaking in UEFA events since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
That ban led to a sizeable exodus of foreign stars from the league, with players and coaches allowed to break their contracts and find moves elsewhere as the war continued.
"Foreign players and coaches will have the right to unilaterally suspend their employment contracts until the end of the season [2021/22] in Russia," FIFA said in a statement in March 2022.
Last year, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said it would be very difficult to lift Russia's ban from the European football governing body's competitions until the war in Ukraine comes to an end.
