Cristiano Ronaldo was 'rejected by numerous Champions League teams despite being available for just £80k-a-week - and with Manchester United offering to pay the bulk of his wages' - before sealing £175m-a-year move to Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly rejected by multiple European teams - despite being made available at a huge discount of £80k-a-week.

The 37-year-old forward was officially unveiled as an Al Nassr player on Tuesday following his arrival in Saudi Arabia after he agreed a £175million-a-year contract.

Despite initially pushing for a Manchester United exit in order to play Champions League football once again last summer, Ronaldo has ended up taking a much different opportunity by signing in the Middle East.
