Cristiano Ronaldo finally responds to Saudi Arabia transfer after being benched at World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to reject a lucrative offer worth £173million-a-year from Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr - as he is holding out for a club who can offer him the chance to once again play Champions League football.

Ronaldo is a free agent after reaching an agreement with Manchester United to tear up the final six months of his lucrative contract a fortnight ago shortly after he'd slammed boss Erik ten Hag and the club hierarchy in a scathing, unsanctioned interview with Piers Morgan.

That means the 37-year-old is free to join another club outside the transfer window; although his focus is currently on the World Cup, where Portugal have just booked their spot in the tournament quarter-finals.
