AL NASSR president Musalli Al Muammar has quashed shock rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Sensational reports emerged earlier this month that the 37-year-old was set to make the move to the Middle East.
Ronaldo is a free agent following his sacking from Manchester United and is searching for a new club.
Marca claimed that Ronaldo had agreed a two-year deal that would see him earn a staggering £173million-a-year at Al Nassr.
That would have made him the highest paid sportsman in history.
Manager Rudi Garcia said that he would be “delighted” to work alongside Ronaldo.
