Ronaldo likely to receive more mega-money offers from Saudi Arabian clubs as Saudi Arabian clubs will not give up trying to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to their league, according to the country's Football Association president.

The Portuguese star, 37, made no secret of his desire to leave Manchester United and join a club playing in the Champions League this season.

 

However, despite tentative interest from the likes of Chelsea and Napoli, the only concrete offers that came in for Ronaldo were from Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.

 

One such offer was described as 'obscene', reflecting the enormous wealth both in the country and its leading football league but Yasser Al-Misehal, the president of the Saudi Arabian FA, believes that efforts to bring Ronaldo to the league won't stop there.

 

Ronaldo has started just one of United's opening six Premier League fixtures this season as Erik ten Hag seeks ways forward without a player who scored 24 times for the club last season.

 

He was unable to make much impact when Ten Hag started him in Thursday's opening UEFA Europa League fixture at home to Real Sociedad, which United lost 1-0.
