Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to sign a staggering £175m-a-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr before the close of 2022, according to stunning new reports.

The 37-year-old had his contract terminated by Manchester United by mutual consent, after he completely slammed the club in a sensational interview with media personality Piers Morgan.
