Barring a change in his current disposition to the Saudi clubside, Cristiano Ronaldo is to become the highest-paid sportsperson of all time after reportedly agreeing to a transfer to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
Sources has revealed the two-and-a-half year deal is worth £173million-a-year.
Earlier, Ronaldo revealed he has turned down an incredible £3m-a-week offer to play in Saudi Arabia in the summer, with Al-Hilal believed to have been interested.
Rivals Al-Nassr are now closing in on his transfer, having also fought off reported interest from Newcastle.
Inter Miami also showed interest in Ronaldo with owner David Beckham reportedly holding talks with the 37-year-old.
Presently, the league is on a World Cup break with Al-Nassr’s next game on December 16 – two days before the final.
Ronaldo is aiming to feature in the World Cup final with Portugal and could join up with Al-Nassr in January if he puts pen to paper.
