I received offers from Europe. Clubs from the United States, Australia, Brazil and Portugal wanted to sign me. But I chose Al-Nassr. I want to take part in the development of not only football, but also other areas of life in this beautiful country. This is a new challenge for me, and I'm happy with my decision.
