  • Ronaldo has been offered a deal bya Saudi Arabian club to leave Manchester United
  • The club reportedly wants to pay Ronaldo a staggering £105 million per year
  • The Portugal star, 37, is open to leaving United to play for a club that is in the Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered a mega-money deal to ditch European football to play in Saudi Arabia.

Portuguese outlet CNN Portugal claims the unnamed club is willing to break its bank to bring the 37-year old to the Saudi Arabia league, amid growing uncertainly over his future.

The report states that the Middle East club is willing to pay Manchester United €30 million in transfer fees for Ronaldo, which is more than what United paid Juventus last summer.

In the unlikely event Ronaldo agrees to the move, it would see him on an astronomical wage in the region of £105 million per year, as per SportBible.

The package deal also entails a mouth-watering £20 million in agent fees.

Earlier in the month, Ronaldo shocked United after he boldly stated he wanted to leave the club only one season after making a return ‘if the right offer came by’.

Since then, the Portugal superstar has been linked with a number of top clubs, including Barcelona, Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain.

Ronaldo is yet to resume training with Manchester United, whose pre season has already kicked off, having played Liverpool in Bangkok on Tuesday, July 12.

His absence has however been attributed to ‘personal/family reasons’.

Despite the saga involving Ronaldo’s desire to leave, United boss Erik Ten Hag insists the superstar is part of his plans.

“We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and that's it and I'm looking forward to working with him.” Ten Hag recently said.
“I have read but what I say is Cristiano is not for sale, he is in our plans and we want success together. I spoke with him before this issue came up, I had a conversation with him and I had a good talk.”

PSG reject chance to sign Ronaldo

Sports Brief also reported earlier that French champions Paris Saint-Germain has rejected the possibility of signing the Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was offered to PSG by his agent Jorge Mendes, but the French giants declined the chance to sign him on financial grounds.

There are also concerns that new manager Christophe Galtier cannot fit Ronaldo into his style as he is planning to start a season with using a back three.
