Ronaldo is in search of a new team after his former team Manchester United ended his contract last week. The entire episode unfolded after the 37-year-old player appeared in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan earlier this month.
The report claimed that Ronaldo has been offered by Saudi Arabian club Al- Nassr a two-and-a-half-year contract worth €200m (£173m) per season.
“Look, he’s a very smart guy, Cristiano, he knows what he’s doing,” Morgan said.
Ronaldo, who still had seven months left to run on his deal which was worth in excess of £500,000 a week, did not receive a payoff from United following his exit.
Notably, Al Nassr is one of Asia’s most successful clubs, winning nine league titles. Christiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, became the first male footballer in history to score a goal in five different FIFA World Cups on Thursday after opening the scoring in Portugals’s World Cup clash with Ghana.
