Ronaldo, 37, turned down a two-year deal worth a staggering £211million from Saudi side Al-Hilal last summer.

At the time he decided that he wasn’t done with European football just yet.

But following his acrimonious Old Trafford departure, A Saudi Pro League side is set to try again for his signature.

According to the Telegraph, the Middle Eastern country want to use Ronaldo as the face of their bid for the 2030 World Cup.

Saudi Arabia are plotting a joint-bid with Greece and Egypt to host the tournament.

If the bid is successful, it would be the first World Cup to be held in three different continents.

For now, Ronaldo is focused on captaining his country this winter in Qatar.

Portugal kick off their latest World Cup campaign against Ghana this afternoon.
