Cristiano Ronaldo ‘is on the brink of signing a massive £175million-a-year deal with Al-Nassr and Saudi Arabia. 

The agreement is expected to run for seven years, with the Portuguese superstar set to play for two-and-a-half years before taking up an ambassadorial role. 

Ronaldo has been searching for a new home since being axed by Manchester United following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan before the World Cup.  

According to Marca, the deal with Al-Nassr will be done in the next few hours.

Part of his ambassadorial role will be to help candidacy of the Arab country together with Egypt and Greece for their 2030 World Cup bid.

Al-Nassr are also preparing to cut three players to free up enough room financially to sign the veteran forward.  

Talks have been ongoing for some time but a breakthrough was made in the last week.  

Ronaldo was linked with the Saudi Arabian club before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but refused to comment as he was focused on the tournament. 

He and his family are said to be waiting in Dubai until the deal – which includes advertising agreements – is confirmed.

Ronaldo could not help Portugal past Morocco and his World Cup ended in disappointment

The Portugal international rejected a switch to Saudi last summer, but without any firm interest from Europe’s elite clubs, he looks set to now make the move. 

Al Nassr are one of the most successful clubs in Saudi Arabia, having being crowned winners of the country’s top flight nine times, with their most recent triumph coming in 2019.

A move to the Saudi club will confirm an end to Ronaldo playing at the elite level, at least out of international windows. 

Ronaldo and his family are currently in Dubai waiting for the deal to go through 

His future with the national side is also in question, following his reduced role at the World Cup, where Portugal exited against Morocco at the quarter-final stage.  

Fernando Santos, who has since been sacked, opted to start Ronaldo from the bench during the knockout games and he was unable to make much of an impact in Qatar. 

Al-Nassr and Saudi Arabia will still regard his signing as a major coup for the club and country given his profile, even if there appears to be a decline in his ability on the pitch.
