Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly turned down a €130 million offer from a Saudi Arabian club to leave Manchester United in the summer, according to former CNN host Piers Morgan.
In last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Erik ten Hag left Ronaldo out of the starting lineup.
The punishment was imposed because Ronaldo resisted being used as a substitute during the final minutes of their victory over Tottenham last week.
Former United defender, Gary Neville, has urged the two parties to “end their relationship”.
Morgan has now suggested that Ronaldo could have left ahead of this season.
He slammed reports that the 37-year-old has attracted no interest from clubs is a “lie leaked by United management”.
Morgan tweeted: “More lies leaked by United management to damage him…@Cristiano received an offer of 130m euros to play for one season in Saudi but turned it down.”
