Keen to leave Manchester United this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo turned down a crazy offer from Saudi Arabia, where a club was offering him a salary of close to 245 million euros over two years.
Despite himself, Cristiano Ronaldo remained at Manchester United. All summer, the Portuguese did not hide his desire to leave the Red Devils to play in the Champions League. But he did not find a way out and decided to stay in the north of England. However, one club tried its luck in securing the services of the five-a-side Ballon d’Or. This is Al Hilal Saudi Club.
The Middle Eastern formation presented a crazy offer to attract the Portuguese star to its ranks. Cristiano Ronaldo was offered a two-year contract with a salary of 2.3 million euros per week, or approximately 245 million euros. But the 37-year-old, eager to develop in a major tournament, rejected the proposal. Unfortunately, the president of the Saudi Football Association.
“We would like to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Saudi League. She will have very positive reactions and it will be great news,” Yasser Al-Mishal told Athletic newspaper. The latter does not despair of watching the “CR7” play in Saudi Arabia. He added: “We have already seen Great players who played in the Premier League and joined Saudi Arabia.”
Ronaldo’s situation in northern England could be a game-changer. Since the start of the Premier League season, he has only started once by his coach Erik ten Hag in six matches and has yet to score a goal. If it does not develop, an exit from the winter transfer window cannot be ruled out. Especially since Al Hilal was planning to return to the responsibility after the World Cup in Qatar with a bigger offer.
