But he has been on the lookout for a new club since the summer, and was turned down by the likes of Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Napoli.

Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt also said no to Ronaldo, 37, with bosses at the club hinting that the superstar was becoming desperate.

Executive board member Axel Hellmann indicated Ronaldo was offered to several clubs across Europe.

He told DAZN: “He was even offered to us,” while Philip Holzer, chairman of the club’s supervisory board, added: “I have the feeling he was offered to every Champions League club.”

Ronaldo has reportedly been offered a two-and-a-half year contract worth £173million-a-year with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr.

Sporting Lisbon have also been linked to the striker, but manager Ruben Amorim is now refusing to be drawn into speculation on Ronaldo’s future.
