Cristiano Ronaldo has denied all claims that he has agreed to move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr for a record fee of £173 million when the transfer window reopens on January 1st.

Sources close to Cristiano Ronaldo ignored the rumors, which were tagged as “rubbish.” It was claimed that the deal included £86 million in advertising and other sponsorship deals.

Ronaldo admitted in his interview with Piers Morgan that he received an offer worth £350 million from Saudi Arabia, which he later denied.

Ronaldo is likely to move to a Champions League side but unlikely to stay in England.

Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid have cooled their interest as many of them claimed Ronaldo doesn’t fit into their idea and can’t be guaranteed the starting place.

Al Nassr is one of the most successful clubs in Saudi Arabia, with nine titles, with most of their triumphs coming in 2019.

Al-Nassr may not have won the league in either 2020 or 2021, but they did succeed in winning the Saudi Super Cup.

However, despite their struggles to stand out on a worldwide scale, the club did participate in the 1999–2000 Club World Cup.

In their group matchup that year, they faced Real Madrid, who scored three goals with the help of Nicholas Anelka and Raul to defeat them 3-1.

The Saudi Arabia giant can boost the numbers of different world-class players in the club with Luis Gustavo, Cameroonian Vincent Aboubakar, and former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s addition will be one of the greatest things to happen in the league. If Cristiano Ronaldo tends to accept the deal, he is likely to become the richest athlete in the world, ahead of Lebron James and Lionel Messi.
