3-year contract worth US$225 million: Club moves forward with signing Cristiano Ronaldo
After much speculation and controversy, Cristiano Ronaldo has finally left Manchester United.
The Portuguese, who had been trying to leave the club for a few months, had his contract terminated by the Red Devils after giving a controversial interview to journalist Piers Morgan.
Now, the trend is that his destiny will be defined after the World Cup dispute. However, some clubs are already starting to appear as possible destinations for the star, such as Chelsea and Newcastle, both from England.
However, according to information released by the newspaper Marca, from Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo is closer to a move to Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, than to English clubs.
The newspaper claims that the Portuguese player is tempted to venture into the Middle East, where clubs have been dreaming of signing him for some time.
VALUES OF THE CONTRACT OFFERED BY AL-NASSR ARE REVEALED
Even, according to journalist James Benge, from CBS Sports, Al-Nassr has already formalized a new proposal to Cristiano’s manager, Jorge Mendes, who is waiting for the striker to officially define his future.
According to the source, the Arabs are willing to pay US$225 million to have Cristiano Ronaldo for three seasons, making the Portuguese the highest-paid player in the history of the country.
