CRISTIANO RONALDO has rejected a lucrative offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, according to reports.
The Portuguese forward is desperate to leave Manchester United this summer, but doesn't want to move away from European football.
Reports this week claimed that Ronaldo was offered an eyewatering two-year contract worth a total £211million by a Saudi side – working out at £2m a week.
According to ESPN, CR7 has rejected the offer.
The Saudi side would have paid United £25m for their 37-year-old star.
Ronaldo has one year remaining on his Old Trafford contract, but handed in a transfer request earlier this month.

He is also desperate to play in the Champions League.
Ronaldo skipped United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons.
A move has yet to materialise, with potential suitors Chelsea now pulling out of the race.
