A Massive Offer

In his search for his next club, former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo is said to have received a massive transfer offer from Saudi club Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo’s Statement

The Portuguese only recently left Old Trafford after the Red Devils and he mutually agreed to end the remaining terms of his contract as a result of his explosive interview with Piers Morgan. "Following negotiations with Manchester United, we have mutually agreed to finish our contract early," the 37-year-old said in a statement. I adore Manchester United and the supporters, and that won't ever change. But now seems like the perfect time for me to look for a fresh challenge. I wish the team the best of luck moving forward and for the rest of the season.

What’s happening at Qatar

Throughout the next stages of the World Cup in Qatar, he will undoubtedly be attempting to entice potential employers with his advances. Given that sources indicate that a sizable offer has already been made to his agent Jorge Mendes, it looks that he has already done that.

Terms of the contract

According to CBS, the veteran would be able to play into his early 40s on a three-year contract from Saudi club Al-Nassr. Accordingly, Ronaldo may make more than £186 million over the course of the contract.

Where does the offer stand

Talks are supposedly 'relatively advanced' since contact between Al-Nassr and the striker's representation reportedly began in the summer when he made his original wish to leave Manchester United. Now it is up to Ronaldo to decide if he accepts the offer—the only one that is currently on the table—or waits for more interest.
