Cristiano Ronaldo addresses Al-Nassr transfer reports following Manchester United exit

Cristiano Ronaldo has denied that he has agreed to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo is currently without a club after he left Manchester United in unceremonious circumstances last month. The 37-year-old's contract at Old Trafford - which was due to run until the summer at least - was mutually terminated following his incendiary interview with Piers Morgan.

The Portuguese aimed multiple barbs at the club and its executives throughout the 90-minute sit-down, with manager Erik ten Hag not escaping his ire either. Ronaldo said he didn't respect the Dutchman and complained about being asked to come off the bench in the last few minutes of the win over Tottenham when he instead refused and stormed down the tunnel.

Ronaldo is on the hunt for a new club but there haven't been many suitors clamouring for his signature so far. Seemingly the only interested party is Al-Nassr, who have reportedly offered the forward a gargantuan-money contract until 2025.

However, when asked if he had agreed a deal with them on Tuesday, Ronaldo responded: "No, that's not true - not true."

Ronaldo will continue to represent Portugal without a club after they advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Tuesday but he faces a fight to regain his starting spot in the team after he was dropped against Switzerland and his replacement, Goncalo Ramos, scored a hat-trick.
