Wishing to leave Manchester United this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo had turned down an XXL offer from a club in Saudi Arabia during the month of July. The identity of the team in question had not been filtered until now, but The Athletic revealed on Tuesday that it was Al-Hilal.
240 million euros in two years!
Al-Hilal had gone to great lengths to try and lure CR7 into the Saudi Arabian championship. According to British media, the Saudi club offered him a salary of € 2.3 million per week over two years. Or almost 240 million euros on the total duration of the lease! Mind-boggling numbers …
But the Portuguese striker was not interested in moving to the Middle East. And the money didn’t convince him. At 37, the five-time Golden Ball still wants to play at the highest level in Europe. His initial wishes were dictated above all by the desire to enter a club that played in the Champions League, a competition in which Manchester United does not participate, qualified only in the Europa League.
Saudi Arabia wants to believe it
Despite Ronaldo’s refusal, the president of the Saudi Federation hopes to attract the Portuguese to his league soon. We would love to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Saudi League. (…) I’m sure it would be a very expensive business, of course, but we can see our clubs getting more revenue in the years to come. to dclar Yasser Al-Misehal The Athletic.
Precisely, Al-Hilal has not given up on the idea of recruiting the former Real Madrid player and continues to monitor his situation, just like Al-Nassr. According to The Sun, these clubs would have the resources to offer him a standard offer after the World Cup in Qatar, in January or next summer. Whether Ronaldo will listen to a Saudi proposal this time remains to be seen.
