Cristiano Ronaldo Offered £300m+ by Saudi Arabian Team, per Report
Following his parting ways with Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered a massive deal from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr, according to ESPN. The franchise is willing to offer him a 3½-year contract worth more than £100 ($103.7 million) a year.
The Portugal forward has decided to not make a decision until after the World Cup, however. According to ESPN, Al-Nassr have also indicated they would be willing to compensate Ronaldo for the pay he would have made in the last six months of his contract at Man United—approximately £16m ($16.5 million).
Despite the 37-year-old telling his team to hold off from negotiations while he’s competing in the World Cup, talks to join the club have already started, per the report.
Portugal plays their final Group H game against South Korea on Friday despite already qualifying for the knockout rounds.
