In the midst of the rumors linking Cristiano Ronaldo to Al-Nassr’s move, An-Nassr President Al-Muammar has debunked claims that Ronaldo is joining Al-Nassr sooner than later.
He brandished all the reports speculating of an imminent move by the Portuguese star as ‘mostly a lie.’
Speaking after Al-Nassr’s 2-2 draw with Al-Hilal, Al-Muammar said:
‘[Reports on] Ronaldo are not right and most of what has been written and said in the [Spanish] media is a lie.’
According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered a two-year contract by Al-Nassr, estimated a £173million.
From this latest update from the Al-Nassr president, it is pretty clear Ronaldo is not closing in on Al-Nassr move, although an offer has been made.
