Cristiano Ronaldo is available on a free transfer, something really incredible on the market. Bayern Munich stated in the last 24 hours that they would not be signing Ronaldo. Newcastle are also not planning on going for Ronaldo, so we have to see what happens.
Ronaldo is 100% focused on the World Cup with Portugal.
But, things are happening behind the scenes with the situation of Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes. I can now confirm what has been reported that Al Nassr have made a crazy proposal to sign Ronaldo.
The proposal is a concrete, written offer until June 2025. Two and a half year deal for Ronaldo is going to be discussed. It’s now up to Ronaldo to decide the potential length of the contract.
It’s true, the proposal is around €200m per season. This is not a new proposal. Al Nassr made an important bid for Ronaldo during the summer transfer window, but he refused the offer. They were interested before his contract was terminated with Manchester United.
Now, Al Nassr are back, with Ronaldo now a free agent. The offer isn’t just offering him a salary of €200m a year. Part of this offer is sponsors, merchandise agreements etc.
It is not yet a done deal or agreed by Ronaldo as I’m told that people close to the 37-year-old are trying to understand the full details around the sponsorship and image rights.
Ronaldo isn’t just a fantastic player but he has many contracts outside of football so his lawyers are weighing up whether everything matches together. Ronaldo will discuss this proposal after the World Cup and decide once the tournament is over.
It’s also important to see if a European or Champions League club join the race to try and hijack the deal.
But yes, Al Nassr want Ronaldo and they know they have a chance after offering a crazy proposal. We will now wait to hear about Ronaldo’s decision.
What next for Cristiano Ronaldo?
