Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is currently busy with his national side in Qatar to lead the Navigators to glory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where Portugal has entered the pre-quarters. However, from the club's perspective, he is left without one, having parted ways with English giants Manchester United last month following his explosive and controversial interview with football journalist Piers Morgan on TalkTV. As he accused the club of betraying him, both parties departed, with United terminating his contract. In the meantime, Saudi Arabian giant Al Nassr reportedly offered him a lucrative contract, seemingly close to accepting and signing, reports Marca.

Ronaldo only managed three goals in 13 contests across tournaments this season. In the WC, he has scored a couple of and became the first Portuguese to score in five different WCs. He also admitted in the interview that another Saudi club had offered him an expensive contract in the summer, which he had turned down.

Ronaldo's move to Al Nassr would end his European career with the most UEFA Champions League (UCL) goals. He would reportedly earn €200 million per year at the club, while along with the incentives, he would become the highest-paid player in the world. He could play alongside Vincent Aboubakar and David Ospina in the club.
