Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has all but declared his club out of the running for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The superstar is still a free agent following his contract termination at Manchester United last month. Reports are linking the 37-year-old with a mega-money move to Saudi Arabia, with offers apparently trumping the €350m opportunity at Al-Hilal he turned down in the summer.
Ronaldo was benched by national team coach Fernando Santos in Portugal’s 6-1 win over Switzerland in Tuesday World Cup last 16 bout, the veteran coming on the final 15 minutes. Earlier in the tournament, he became the first men’s player to net in five separate finals thanks to his spot kick in the opening 3-2 win over Ghana.
