Superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has turned down the chance to join an unnamed Saudi Arabian club amid his uncertain future at Manchester United.
Ronaldo has been offered £250million in wages to move to the Middle East over the next two seasons, with the club also submitting a £25million offer for United. However, according to Sport Mail, Ronaldo will turn down the chance to become the highest paid player in the world in order to move elsewhere.
United manager Erik ten Hag has already made it clear that Ronaldo is in his plans by asking questions about the Portuguese striker in his latest press conference.
Ronaldo has missed the Red Devils’ pre-season tour of Australia due to a family issue, but he has worked individually to prepare for the new season.

Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are reportedly still interested.
Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games last season after returning to Manchester after leaving the club for Real Madrid in 2009. However, United finished sixth in the Premier League and failed to qualify for the Champions League, which is believed to be the best. the reason behind his desire to move.
