Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United is uncertain.
And there is no lack of interest around the world.
Now the world star is said to have nobbed a move – which would have made him by far the best paid of all time.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, the club where he had his big breakthrough in world football, last summer. But it did not go exactly as he wanted. Although he made an approved season in terms of goals, it has still been fraught with turbulence.
Stated willing to leave
Manchester United has not been right at all, and there have also been a lot of changes in the sporting management and coaching role. Ronaldo has been said to be unhappy with the signings and the project, and there are many rumors about his future.
Ronaldo is said to want to leave the club, and there have been rumors of a move to Premier League rival Chelsea. However, Chelsea have now gone out and clearly stated that it will not get rid of, and then the question remains: Will Ronaldo remain at United when the season starts, or will he change? In any case, it is clear that there does not seem to be a lack of interest.
Nobbed monster offer
According to ESPN, Ronaldo has now also turned down a lucrative offer to say the least. According to the newspaper, a club from Saudi Arabia – which is not named – has offered United a transfer fee of around SEK 300 million to recruit Ronaldo, but that is irrelevant as the Portuguese himself refused.
If Ronaldo had said yes, he would have been by far the highest paid player of all time. The contract was for two seasons, and worth just over three billion (!) Kronor. Ronaldo will also have offers from MLS, in the USA, to take a stand on, but there is much to suggest that there will be a “no thank you” there as well.
