Calling 37-year-old Ronaldo “a man claiming the Palestinian cause,” Erdoğan also commented on allegations about the Portuguese star’s transfer to Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr. “According to the information I have, Ronaldo is going to Saudi Arabia,” he said, adding that Mbappe will “follow the same” in the future, without mentioning a date.
