Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered a mammoth contract by Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, according to reports, but the former Manchester United striker is yet to decide his next move.

The 37-year-old terminated his Old Trafford deal by mutual consent last month in the wake of a controversial interview with Piers Morgan where he criticised the Premier League side.

Sky Sports News writes that the best offer Ronaldo has received so far is from Al-Nassr, but a deal is yet to be completed.

There are several Saudi Arabian teams in the running to sign the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, with the Middle Eastern nation looking like likeliest destination as things stand.

According to the BBC, Al Nassr’s offer is worth around €200 million per year.

Ronaldo is currently on international duty with Portugal at World Cup 2022, where he faces Switzerland in the last 16 on Tuesday.

The striker’s future is unlikely to be decided until his campaign in Qatar is over.

The Portugal captain became the first male player to score in five World Cups when he netted from the penalty spot in a 3-2 opening win over Ghana.

He then celebrated scoring against Uruguay, but the goal was awarded to his former United team-mate Bruno Fernandes instead, as Ronaldo was judged to have not made contact with the ball as he went to head it.
