Cristiano Ronaldo has received an offer exceeding £200million to leave Manchester United for a club in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo has contract with Manchester United until next summer. He has informed the club that he wishes to leave before the new football season begins. He has received a lucrative offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabia club, worth £233.23million (€275 million) over two years. It would make him the highest-paid sportsman by a huge distance.
Sources say the club are also willing to pay Manchester United a transfer fee in the region of £25million. Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford from Juventus for an initial £12.86million last summer. However, Ronaldo is not expected to accept the offer because he intends to play in the Champions League next season.
New manager Erik ten Hag said earlier, “We are planning with Ronaldo for this season. That’s it. I am looking forward to working with him.”
