Al-Nassr have made an offer to sign Portugal star, Cristiano Ronaldo.
But, contrary to reports, the former Real Madrid forward has not completed a deal to sign for the Saudi Arabian club, Sky Sports confirmed.
Al-Nassr are one of a number of teams from the country interested in signing Ronaldo, who is a free agent after leaving Manchester United late last month.
However, Ronaldo’s likeliest destination would be a club in Saudi Arabia, with the country keen to make him an ambassador for the game there.
Ronaldo is currently still in action at the World Cup in Qatar, with his focus fully on overcoming Switzerland in the round of 16 to set up a potential quarter-final against Spain, should Luis Enrique’s side beat Morocco on Tuesday.
Portugal coach, Fernando Santos, who wasn’t pleased with Ronaldo’s reaction to being substituted in the defeat to South Korea, said the issue has been resolved ahead of the last-16 encounter with the Swiss.

Ronaldo left United by mutual consent last month following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
United issued a statement announcing they had reached a mutual agreement with the 37-year-old forward to terminate his contract.
In the interview on TalkTV, Ronaldo said he felt “betrayed” by the club and has “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portugal captain also claimed members of the United hierarchy were trying to force him out of Old Trafford and doubted him when he said he could not attend pre-season because his daughter was ill in hospital.
Ronaldo won three Premier League titles and the Champions League at United but left in 2009 after six years for Real Madrid, where he became the club’s greatest goalscorer, winning the Champions League four more times.
He spent three years at Juventus from 2018 before a sensational return to Manchester United in 2021.
