Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo quit English giants Manchester United last month, as his contract was terminated after a mutual agreement. After his contentious interview with football journalist Pier Morgan on TalkTV, things turned sour between the two parties, as he accused the club of betraying him. Now that he is in the hunt for a new club, while there is no interest from top European clubs, he has attracted interest from Asia, as Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr has offered him a luxurious contract. However, he is yet to sign for the club, as he is currently focused on his national side for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, where it has reached the quarterfinals.

As per reports, Ronaldo has been offered over £100 million annually. However, he denied having signed for the club yet, and it is a decision he would make solely after getting done and dusted with his WC duties. "No, it's not true," he informed the media after finishing the pre-quarters against Switzerland as a substitute on Tuesday, which his side won 6-1 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium, reports FotMob.

Ronaldo alleged that United wanted to force him out this summer, while he has no respect for club head coach Erik ten Hag as he alleged that he did not get the same from him. While Ronnie still intends on playing top-tier European football, including the UEFA Champions League (UCL), given his sharp decline in form, followed by his wage demands, it looks unlikely that he would be able to continue in Europe.
