Al Nassr have scheduled a medical for Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of a £173 million-a-year transfer, according to CBS Sports.
The Saudi Arabian club are looking to complete the signing of the 37-year-old in January.
Ronaldo is still without a club since his contract was cancelled by Manchester United last month in acrimonious fashion just before the World Cup following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
Al Nassr have been frontrunners for Ronaldo’s signature, with agent Jorge Mendes having failed to find suitors in Europe.
One of the only offers he has received since his departure from Old Trafford has come from Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.
They currently sit top of the table in the Saudi Pro League, as they look to win their first title since 2019.
The Saudi side are highly optimistic that they can complete the move, having already booked accommodation for Ronaldo and his advisors.
