The move was worth around $300m according to the interview with TalkTV.
The news comes after Saudi Arabia's sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal revealed the country wants to take over Manchester United and other teams.
They wouldn't want him to play in their league. The prince told Sky News that he brought the player to Saudi Arabia. He is a role model to many young players.

It's not the kind of club that would have made him want to join. It was clear from the interview he gave that he sees his future at the top of the European game.
The reason he was trying to push out of Man United was because he wanted to extend his legacy in the European competition. The key is that the goal is achieved.
It waits to be seen whether he settles for something else or not. In Saudi Arabia's Al- Hilal, the club that came in for him won't be a surprise.
He turned down a formal offer from United, but they were willing to accept it.
Ronaldo didn't want to go to Saudi Arabia because he believes he still has a lot to prove.
In the TalkTV interview, it was suggested that clubs were too scared to make a bid for him because of his status in football.
Who is the most expensive player in the history of the premier league? He said it was him at 37 years old.
The media even offered me to either of the two teams. I didn't have many clubs but I have many offers of the other clubs. The garbage is that nobody wants me.
I was happy at United and I wanted to do a great season there. They keep repeating that nobody would want him.
They don't want a player who scored 32 goals last year with the national team.

The Glazer family, who own the English club, are said to be furious at the claims made by the Portuguese star.
The Portugal international said that he felt betrayed by the club and that United have stopped on a clock in regards to progression and investment in infrastructure.
Avram Glazer wouldn't be drawn on whether his family cared about the club or not.
He told Sky News: "Cristiano is a great Manchester United player and I wish him the best of luck in the future."
The statement released by the Glazers said they are open to selling United, but they could also remain in control of the club and look for new investors.
