The 37-year-old wants to continue playing in the Champions League and has therefore not agreed to the contract offer, the English newspaper “The Sun” reported. The Spanish “Marca” had previously reported that the captain of the Portuguese national team was about to sign. Al-Nassr offered him a contract for two and a half years with a total volume of 200 million euros per season including advertising revenue.
Two days before Portugal’s first World Cup game in Qatar, Ronaldo’s former club Manchester United announced their separation from the superstar. The Portuguese has been without a contract since then and can therefore look for a new club for free. Since then, speculation about his future has accompanied Portugal’s World Cup tournament. In addition to Saudi Arabia, the USA and Australia are also considered possible destinations.
In Europe, there are very few clubs that could offer Ronaldo Champions League appearances and pay his salary at the same time. France’s top club Paris Saint-Germain or the Premier League club FC Chelsea are mentioned again and again. The German Bundesliga clubs FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also speculated about a Ronaldo commitment last summer. Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn had recently categorically ruled this out on Sky.
