Cristiano Ronaldo 'agrees a £173MILLION-per-year contract, by far the biggest in football, with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr - and is close to signing' after Europe's top clubs shunned him post-Man United exit

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly agreed a bumper £172.9million-a-year contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

The 37-year-old had his Manchester United contract terminated earlier this month, following a tumultuous relationship with club chiefs that only worsened when he made a number of controversial statements in a TV interview with Piers Morgan.

The Portugal international was pushing for a move away from Old Trafford in the summer, but did not get his wish as he was determined to play Champions League football.

The former Real Madrid star rejected a switch to Saudi last summer, but without any firm interest from Europe's elite clubs, he looks set to now make the move.
