Cristiano Ronaldo ‘agrees £173m-a-year’ contract with Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr following Manchester United exit
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly agreed a two-and-a-half year deal to join Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr.
Ronaldo left Manchester United this month after they agreed to terminate his contract early.
Ronaldo looks like he has found his next club
It followed his explosive interview with Piers Morgan where he took aim at Erik ten Hag and the club’s hierarchy.
The 37-year-old is now free to sign for any club and reports suggest he has already found his next team.
Spanish publication Marca report he has accepted a two-and-a-half year deal for £173million-a-year with Saudi side Al Nassr.
During his interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo previously revealed he rejected a £306m offer to move to a Saudi Arabia side in the summer.
Instead he stayed at Old Trafford, but played just 520 minutes of Premier League action and scored one goal.
Following his exit, Ronaldo released a statement and said: “Following talks with Manchester United, we’ve mutually agreed to end our contract,” the striker said.
“I love Manchester United and I love the fans, that will never ever change.
“It feels like the right time to seek a new challenge. I wish Man Utd all the best.”
For now, Ronaldo will likely have his focus on Portugal and the World Cup.
They have already qualified for the last-16 and face South Korea on Friday in their final group stage game.
