Ronaldo's Al Nassr Rumors Termed as ‘mostly Lies’ by Club’s Chief

• AL Nassr president Musli Al-Muammar has come out to play down rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo to the club
• Ronaldo is currently a free agent after leaving Manchester United a few weeks ago
• Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr has been among the most talked about destinations for the 37-year old
• Reports over the last few weeks have suggested Ronaldo is on the verge of signing ‘the biggest contract in football’

Rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Saudi Arabia club Al Nassr are ‘mostly lies’ according to the club’s president Musli Al-Muammar.

Following his tell all interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo was released by Manchester United, and is now focused on searching for a new club after the end of the World Cup.

His options are quite limited, as a few European clubs have expressed interest in the 37-year old’s services, leaving Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia as his most-likely destination.

Reports over the last few weeks have suggested Ronaldo was set to sign a whopping £173million-a-year deal with the club, but Musli Al-Muammar begs to differ.

According to the Al-Nassr chief, most of the rumours being peddled online are “mostly lies”, per The Sun.

Among the rumors is the narrative that Ronaldo would retire at the club after signing the contract.

It remains unclear which part of the reports are not entirely accurate, although Al Nassr’s sporting director Marcelo Salazar has refused to deny the prospect of signing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

He recently told Flashscore that he could not confirm nor deny whether Ronaldo would be joining the club.

As you can see, this is a negotiation of enormous magnitude, not only for the club, but for the country and for world football, and which has to be conducted by higher authorities.

Elsewhere, Sports Brief also reported on Cristiano Ronaldo’s son leaving Manchester United to rejoin Real Madrid.

The 12-year-old has been playing for the academies where his father has been at.

With Ronaldo's future now seemingly out of Europe, Ronaldo Junior has decided to focus on his path at Real Madrid. His father spent nine years in Madrid where he left as the club's all-time top scorer with 450 goals and four champions League titles.
