Cristiano Ronaldo has left Manchester United and is hunting for a new club, while Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr has reportedly offered him a mega contract. Meanwhile, here's what club president Musalli Al Muammar has to say.
Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is without a club after parting ways with English giants Manchester United. He was let go by the club following his contentious interview with football journalist Piers Morgan. As he hunts for a new club to play the final years of his career, top European clubs have yet to show interest in him. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr has offered him a lucrative contract that would make him the club's highest-earning footballer. Ronaldo is yet to take a call on the same, given that he was busy with his national side in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar. However, now that Portugal is out of the tournament, he is expected to decide soon.
In the meantime, Al Nassr president Musalli Al Muammar was questioned on the topic by Ali Al-Enezi. However, he laughed it off and gave a feeling that he was unaware of the entire thing. "Who is Ronaldo? I don't know him," he was quoted as saying. Although he spoke to SSC Sports later, he tried to play it down.
"Cristiano was busy recently with the World Cup, and I don't think he's negotiating with anyone. We will not speak about other players. I wish the best to Cristiano with any decision he makes," added Al Muammar. Recently, Al Nassr head coach Rudi Garcia admitted that he desired to manage Ronaldo. He even addressed what he was close to doing before Ralf Ragnick took charge of United last season.
