Jorge Mendes approached several clubs over a deal for Cristiano Ronaldo before the Portugal striker joined Al-Nassr, according to new reports.
The super-agent, who worked on Ronaldo's return to Manchester United in 2021, was not involved in the veteran's move to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo has reportedly hired Ricardo Regufe as his new manager, with his compatriot taking centre-stage amid the £173m Al-Nassr deal.
Ronaldo revealed he had offers from Europe before the move to the Saudi Pro League was confirmed, as well as interest from Australia, Brazil and the United States. Former club Real Madrid were not among the interested parties, though, and indeed Los Blancos are said to have ignored calls from Mendes as he pushed for a deal.
