Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he has not accepted the £173million offer from Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr. The Portuguese international is searching for a new club after being released from his Manchester United contract by mutual consent, but he does not appear to be keen on leaving Europe.
The 37-year-old is currently in Qatar captaining Portugal in the World Cup but after three consecutive starts in the group stages, he was dropped by Fernando Santos who opted to pick Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos to make his first senior international start.
Santos explained his reasons for dropping his captain after the incident that occurred in the final knockings of Portugal's match with South Korea, saying: “I’d heard him (Ronaldo) in discussion with Korea’s players. But I didn’t like the other images when I saw them. Not at all. I really didn’t like them. Now, everything has finished. That issue is finished. Full stop."
