SAUDIS MAKE RONALDO OFFER
We might be about to discover to discover just how important Champions League football is to Cristiano Ronaldo…
The Portuguese megastar is said to want to leave Manchester United this summer to remain in the European Cup but despite tentative interest from the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Napoli and Roma, no club has yet come forward with a firm offer.
