Cristiano Ronaldo looks headed for a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

According to Spanish publication Marca, the Portuguese forward has been offered a two-and-a-half-year deal with Al Nassr FC with the total value of his contract estimated to be $217 million per year.

The move is expected to take place on January 1, 2023.

Ronaldo parted ways with Manchester United last month, followed his explosive interview with Piers Morgan where he took aim at manager Erik ten Hag and the Premier League team's hierarchy.

The 37-year-old made five appearances at the World Cup, scoring just one goal from the penalty spot in Portugal's opening group stage match against Ghana.
