DOHA — Cristiano Ronaldo is in talks to sign a
blockbuster deal with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr following his high-profile
exit from Manchester United, club sources told AFP on Monday.
One source said the club were in “serious negotiations” with
the 37-year-old but an agreement had not yet been reached because of issues
with Ronaldo’s image rights.
The Portuguese forward left United last month after giving
an explosive TV interview in which he took aim at the club and coach Erik ten
Hag.
Ronaldo will sign a two-and-a-half year deal worth nearly
200 million euros ($210 million) a season, starting in January, according to a
report by Spanish newspaper Marca.
However, another source at the Saudi club told AFP that
nothing had been signed.
Ronaldo said he had rejected a huge deal to join a Saudi
club in his hard-hitting interview.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner could join Colombian
goalkeeper David Ospina and Cameroon midfielder Vincent Aboubakar, who
currently play at Al-Nassr.
The Portugal captain became the first player to score at
five men’s World Cups when he netted a penalty in their opening 3–2 win over
Ghana in Qatar.
Portugal, aiming to win a first World Cup trophy, face
Switzerland on Tuesday in the last 16.
The striker helped his team triumph at Euro 2016 and has won
an impressive haul of silverware across a glittering club career with United,
Real Madrid and Juventus.
