Cristiano Ronaldo will be 'out of sight, out of mind' if he goes to Saudi, says Lalas

Cristiano Ronaldo will be 'out of sight, out of mind' if he joins cash-rich Saudi club Al-Nassr following his Manchester United exit, according to former USA defender Alexi Lalas.

The 37-year-old left the Premier League giants ahead of the World Cup after his relationship with the club went beyond repair after a series of controversial statements in a TV interview with Piers Morgan.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's team dismissed reports Monday that his $211m-per-year move to Saudi club Al-Nassr is complete and ready to be sealed on January 1 as 'nonsense'.
