According to Spanish media outlet Marca via Goal, Chelsea transfer target Cristiano Ronaldo is torn between a January move to Premier League side Newcastle United and Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr.

Manchester United announced the exit of Ronaldo from the club on Tuesday after both parties agreed to terminate his contract which was to expire at the end of the season.

It is thought that both sides are the only ones who could afford Ronaldo’s exuberant £520k-a-week wage demands, with the Magpies offering the more competitive option.

Eddie Howe’s side are currently sitting third in the Premier League, above the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea.
