Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is close to signing a contract with Saudi club Al-Nassr, according to media reports.

The 37-year-old captain is set to reach an agreement on a two-and-a-half-year contract, the Spanish newspaper Marca reported on Wednesday.

It said the total cost of the deal is around 200 million euros ($207 million) per season.

Ronaldo has been without a club since leaving Manchester United last week following a TV interview where he heavily criticized the club.
