Thiago Almada has sparked a buzz online with transfer rumors. During his transfer announcement, he took a lighthearted jab at Cristiano Ronaldo, but it seemed more playful than serious.

Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar, recently commented on Ligue 1, saying, “The Saudi Pro League is better than Ligue 1, of course. I’m not saying that because I play here. I don’t care what people think about it. Players should come here, and they’ll see quickly. Just try sprinting at 38, 39, 40 degrees…”
