The president of Saudi Arabia's Football Federation has declared interest in Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yasser Al-Misehal admits they'd like to bring the Portuguese great to the Middle East.

He told the Athletic: "We would love to see someone like Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Saudi league. It would give huge positive feedback and it would be great news for everyone.

"I'm sure everyone knows Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements and records, but also that he is a player who is a great role model.

"I think: 'Why not?'. I'm sure it would be a very expensive deal, of course, but we can see that our clubs have had higher revenues in recent years. We have already seen some big players who used to play in the Premier League come to the Saudi league. I like Cristiano Ronaldo as a player and I would like to see him play in Saudi Arabia."
