Ronaldo close to signing with Saudi club Al-Nassr

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is close to signing a contract with Saudi club Al-Nassr, according to media reports.

The 37-year-old captain is set to reach an agreement on a two-and-a-half-year contract, the Spanish newspaper Marca reported on Wednesday.

It said the total cost of the deal is around 200 million euros ($207 million) per season.

Ronaldo has been without a club since leaving Manchester United last week following a TV interview where he heavily criticized the club.

He also criticised the manager Erik ten Hag, saying the club had not grown since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013 adding that he had no respect for Ten Hag cause the manager had no respect for him.
