JAKARTA - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan admitted that he had received information confirming Cristiano Ronaldo would join Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr club.
Ronaldo has not owned a club since his contract with Manchester United was terminated last month. However, a number of clubs began to be linked to him ahead of the opening of the January transfer window.
"According to the information I received, Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Saudi Arabia," Erdogan said as quoted by the Turkish Goal on Monday, December 26, 2022.
The former Real Madrid player, who played as a free agent at Qatar's 2022 World Cup, has been linked with a move to Al Nassr since last summer.
He was re-linked with the club concerned during yesterday's World Cup. However, the Portugal international has denied the news.
Al Nassr is the only party that has shown serious interest in getting Ronaldo's services so far. They have offered him a contract until 2025 with a salary of 200 euros (IDR 3.3 trillion) per year.
Ronaldo will be the most expensive player on earth if he accepts the offer. It's just that the player seems more interested in playing in Europe even if necessary at clubs competing in the European Champions League.
CR7 is not only linked to the club from Saudi Arabia. The owner of five Ballon d'Ors is also reportedly interested in David Beckham's MLS Inter Miami FC club.
