The Portuguese national team was eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Morocco, and then decided not to return to Lisbon with their teammates.
According to the information, he remains in Qatar, which further fueled the speculation that he will sign the richest contract in history – with the Saudi club Al Nasr. The Arabs are understood to be offering him €250m over two years, Ronaldo recently denied he was considering a move there, but the latest development hints at such a move.
The Portuguese’s desire was to stay in European football and chase at least one more title in the Champions League, but at the moment no elite club wants him in their ranks. Given that United also terminated the contract with him, and Ronaldo will turn 38 in February, it becomes clear that there is no future for him in Europe. Knowing Ronaldo, if he does sign with Al Nasr, he will do it or announce it on the day of the World Cup finals in Qatar.
