In the end, after a lack of offers, Ronaldo accepted the proposal that Mohammed Bin Salman put on the table, offering an amount which was very difficult to reject.

After agreeing to terms, Ronaldo is now the highest-paid footballer on the planet - netting a whopping salary of €200million.

But even in lieu of money, he has reportedly had enough of life in Saudi Arabia, and would like a return to Real Madrid.

The report suggests that Ronaldo is desperate to be able to reside in the city again - so much so that he has even he offered himself to Florentino Perez, though his request was rejected by the president and by Carlo Ancelotti.

At one point it was thought that Ronaldo was signing for Atletico Madrid, but the club's fans were unhappy with him joining up. The supporters forced the Rojiblanca board to stop the signings.

It is thought though that Perez has guaranteed that he could make Ronaldo an ambassador at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It comes after the news that Lionel Messi is coming back to Barcelona, though the club are looking to find a way to fuifill his wage bill.

It could well be that Ronaldo and Messi are soon back in La Liga plying their trade once more.
