Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leave Manchester United. A horrendous offer is said to have been made to him from a Gulf state.
According to media reports, an offer with a total volume of an incredible 300 million euros should lure Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. After various speculations about the Portuguese superstar, including an interest from FC Bayern Munich, which was quickly denied, this time it is said to be a club from the Gulf state. However, his identity is not yet known.
As the broadcasters CNN Portugal and TVI as well as the Spanish sports newspaper “As” reported on Thursday, it should be an offer for two seasons. Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United runs until the end of June next year. The 37-year-old wants to play in a strong league ahead of the World Cup in Qatar in November and December, which is likely to be the last of his career.
The offer from Saudi Arabia is said to provide for a transfer fee of 30 million euros. Ronaldo should then earn 125 million euros per season. The transfer transfer world record is 222 million euros, which Paris Saint-Germain once paid FC Barcelona for the Brazilian Neymar.
