Cristiano Ronaldo has rejected a move to Australia as the Portugal superstar weighs up his next career move.
Ronaldo, 37, is searching for a new club after mutually agreeing to part ways with Manchester United following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV last month.
A-League chief Danny Townsend disclosed audacious plans to lure Ronaldo to Australia shortly after Ronaldo's United exit, but has now confirmed that the 37-year-old has knocked back their offer.
'We had interesting discussions, and there was genuine interest, but it's clear he has other priorities at this stage,' he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
