A football chief Yasser Al-Misehal has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo will have more offers to move to Saudi Arabia next year.
The striker, 37, told Manchester United that he wanted to leave the club in June in search of Champions League football.
Ronaldo could not find a suitable club to join and that led Saudi Arabia outfit Al-Hilal to make a bid.
Al-Hilal reportedly offered CR7 a two-year deal worth a staggering £211million – which works out to £2m a week.
But he rejected the offer along with a proposal from Al-Nassr.
Despite that, President of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation Al-Misehal believes more bids will be made from Saudi clubs next year.
He told The Athletic: “We would love to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Saudi league.
“It would bring a huge positive feedback and it would be big news for everyone. I’m sure everyone knows the achievements and records of Cristiano Ronaldo, but also as a player who is a great role model.
“I think, ‘Why not?’. I’m sure it would be a very expensive deal, of course, but we can see our clubs getting higher revenues in the past couple of years.
“We have already seen some big players who used to play in the Premier League come to the Saudi league.”
