Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti can't see Cristiano Ronaldo continuing his career in the Middle East.

Released Manchester United striker Ronaldo has an offer from Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia and is currently in Dubai weighing up his options.

Asked about Ronaldo's rivalry with Lionel Messi, Ancelotti said: "This duel gave motivations to both of them. In these years, they have been the main architects of the world of football, playing great and scoring many goals.

"Messi closes his career with the World Cup, CR7 closes it differently, but it was extraordinary anyway.

"Especially here in Madrid, he will stay forever in the hearts of fans. I don't know what he will do in his future, he still wants to compete at the highest level and I don't think the Arab world can be fit for him in this regard."
