A football chief has stated that the league he presides over would welcome the arrival of Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo amid rumours the Portuguese received a contract proposal worth £211 million a year.It was widely reported that Ronaldo had asked the Red Devils to sell him in the recently passed transfer window, although a move failed to materialise for a host of reasons.
The club's resolve, however, was not truly tested after several clubs across Europe declared themselves uninterested in a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, but there was reportedly concrete interest from a team in Saudi Arabia., an unnamed Saudi club offered Ronaldo a contract worth a staggering £211 million a year, while he received another offer that would have reportedly seen him earn £2 million a week.
"We would love to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Saudi league, it would bring a huge positive feedback and it would be big news for everyone," he told"I'm sure everyone knows the achievements and records of Cristiano Ronaldo, but also as a player who is a great role model.
