Sportskeeda reports that Arsenal London expects to sign 37-year-old Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo before the end of the season.
According to the source, the London club is looking for a replacement for injured striker Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal understands that it will be difficult for the team to retain its lead in the EPL standings this season without a capable striker.
The English club can't match Al-Nassr's offer's terms. The media reported that the Saudi club offered Ronaldo a 2.5-year contract with a total payment of €500 million. Arsenal is trying to persuade Ronaldo and has involved head coach Mikel Arteta in the negotiations.
Arsenal is leading the table with 37 points after 14 rounds in the current EPL season. Arteta's team will play their next match on December 26 against West Ham.
