Report: Cristiano Ronaldo Rejects 6Mln Euros Annual Offer from Saudi Arabia

Press reports revealed that the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has turned down a major financial offer to promote tourism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

According to the Spanish Marca the Juventus player was asked to do publicity to promote Saudi Arabia as a holiday destination and was reportedly offered six million Euros per year.

Marca has cited the British The Telegraph, who explained that the Juventus forward passed on this offer.
