Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Speaks On Proposed Saudi Arabia Move

But speaking to the press after Portugal’s World Cup last 16 tie with Switzerland on Tuesday night, Ronaldo played down these rumours.

“No, that’s not true – not true,” he simply said.

Ronaldo is without a club after mutually agreeing a contract termination with Manchester United earlier in December off the back of his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

While on international duty with Portugal, he’s become the first man to score at five different World Cups after netting from the penalty spot in the Selecao’s 3-2 win over Ghana in the group stage.

However, after reacting poorly to be substituted against South Korea, Ronaldo was dropped for Tuesday’s clash with Switzerland, and Portugal’s attack was purring in his absence.

They ran out 6-1 winners at the Lusail Stadium, with Ronaldo’s direct replacement in the starting lineup – Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos – scoring a hat-trick.

The 37-year-old has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, while he has been linked with a move to Chelsea and his former club Sporting Lisbon.

Ronaldo is currently focused on the World Cup in Qatar, where Portugal are preparing to face Switzerland in the last 16 on Tuesday.
