Ronaldo failed to win a single trophy in his two years with Al-Nassr and now looks set to leave for free after failing to reach an agreement on a new deal.

According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Brazilian club Botafogo are in talks with the legendary Portuguese forward. 

He is understood to have plenty of options this summer having been linked with several MLS clubs and a return to boyhood club Sporting.
