Shortly after his contract with Manchester United was terminated earlier this week,  International football star Christiano Ronaldo got hit with a major deal to play in the Saudi league, as he partakes now in the Qatar World Cup.

CBS Sports reported that  Al Nassr Saudi football club is ready to offer Ronaldo a contract that extends over three years, estimated at around £ 186 million, and has already held serious negotiations with Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes.

It's noteworthy that the Portuguese star received and declined a similar offer last summer to join the Saudi league, however now that his contract with the English premiere league has ended, the player might actually make the switch and play into his forties in the Gulf state.

Earlier this week, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, Saudi Arabia's Sports Minister, pointed out that Riyadh would support any Saudi private sector bids to take over Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool.

The Glazer family, Manchester United's owners, are considering selling the club as they consider "strategic alternatives."

In a related context, bin Turki said he would "love" to see Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo play for a Saudi club after his departure from Manchester United.

"Anything is possible, I would love to see Ronaldo play in the Saudi league," he expressed, indicating that the move "would benefit the league, the sports eco-system in Saudi and it will inspire the youth for the future. He's a role model to a lot of kids and has a big fanbase in Saudi."
