Eager to leave Manchester United this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo turned down a crazy offer from Saudi Arabia, as a club was offering him a salary of nearly €245m over two years.
Despite himself, Cristiano Ronaldo remained at Manchester United. Throughout the summer, the Portuguese did not hide his desire to leave the Red Devils to play in the Champions League. But he did not find a way out and decided to stay in the north of England. However, one of the clubs tried his luck to get the services of the quintuple Ballon d’Or. This is Al Hilal Saudi Club.
And the Middle Eastern formation made a crazy offer to attract the Portuguese star to its ranks. Cristiano Ronaldo was offered a two-year contract with a salary of €2.3m per week, or approximately €245m. But the 37-year-old, who was keen to develop in a major tournament, rejected the proposal. Unfortunately, the president of the Saudi Football Association.
“We would like to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Saudi league. It will have very positive reactions and it will be great news,” Yasser Al-Mishal told The Athletic. The latter does not despair of watching the “CR7” play in Saudi Arabia. “We have already seen Great players who played in the Premier League and joined Saudi Arabia.”
Ronaldo’s position in the north of England could be a game-changer. Since the start of the Premier League season, he has started only once by his coach Erik ten Hag in six matches and has not yet scored a goal. If you do not develop, an exit from the winter transfer window cannot be ruled out. Especially since Al-Hilal was planning to return to responsibility after the World Cup in Qatar with a bigger offer.
