Saudi Arabia club, Al-Hilal have provided the real reason Cristiano Ronaldo did not join them over the summer.

Al-Hilal said they were the previously unnamed Saudi club who made a mammoth offer to prise Ronaldo away from Manchester United.

The only official bid for the 37-year-old was said to have come from an unnamed Saudi team who were prepared to make Ronaldo the highest-paid player in world football.

But now Al-Hilal president Fahad ben Nafel has revealed that talks between them and Ronaldo had progressed well, but they were prevented from completing the deal due to a transfer ban.

Speaking on the Thamanya YouTube channel, he said: “Yes, we negotiated with Ronaldo. The problem was not in the money or the principle.

“Al-Hilal is able to bring in the stars of the world, but it was in the decision of the Sports Arbitration Center that prevented us from registering the players.
