Al-Nassr offer Cristiano Ronaldo a record-breaking contract.
According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered a contract by Al-Nassr that may make him the highest-paid football player in history.
The 37-year-old shockingly quit Manchester United earlier this month by mutual consent after he attacked the club’s hierarchy, manager, and players in a fiery interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo, who is currently away at the World Cup with Portugal, has been targeted by clubs in Saudi Arabia before and turned down the opportunity to join Al-Hilal in the summer despite being offered over £300m to do so.
Al-Hilal was reportedly making a new bid for Ronaldo, but it’s now believed that they have switched their focus to Lionel Messi and other priorities, opening the door for Al-Nassr to attempt to arrange their own transfer.

Although sources have told mp3bullet that Ronaldo’s current plan is to stay in Europe so he can continue to play in the Champions League, Al-Nassr has made a record-breaking contract offer to bring him to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Nassr’s offer is believed to be a three-year deal worth close to £250m a year once add-ons, incentives and bonuses are factored in – eclipsing the huge contract Kylian Mbappe penned earlier this summer to remain at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldo is yet to respond to Al-Nassr’s proposal, but his desire to continue competing at the highest level was made clear in the interview he conducted with Morgan.
Newcastle United, owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and Chelsea are two Premier League teams to have previously been linked with Ronaldo.
