Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo 'is likely to attract more offers from Saudi Arabia'

Saudi Arabian clubs will not give up trying to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to their league, according to the country's Football Association president.

The Portuguese star, 37, made no secret of his desire to leave Manchester United and join a club playing in the Champions League this season.

However, despite tentative interest from the likes of Chelsea and Napoli, the only concrete offers that came in for Ronaldo were from Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.
