Al-Hilal President Reveals Why Ronaldo’s Mega £210m Transfer From Man Utd Fell Off

“We did not stop negotiating with the players despite the decision to ban, but we were delaying entering the final stage of the negotiations until the ban was lifted.”

Al-Hilal has a transfer ban due to a fiasco with signing Mohmed Kanno when he was accidentally registered for two clubs at the same time.

If the statements from Ben Nafel are true then despite Ronaldo supposedly wanting out of Old Trafford for Champions League football it didn’t stop him from not listening to Al-Hilal.

The size of the bid in full is incredible given CR7’s age and his lack of form recently. He has netted just once this season – a penalty in the Europa League versus Sheriff Tiraspol.

The Portuguese international has also had his minutes limited this season as he is often used off the bench by Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo continues to start for his country though despite some questioning whether he should given his underwhelming performances.

If Al-Hilal did add Ronaldo to their squad then he would join a team with some familiar faces.

Ex-United striker Odion Ighalo, former West Brom star Matheus Pereira and ex-Porto forward Moussa Marega are all at the club.
