Cristiano Ronaldo will not accept the offer of a new challenge in Asia, not for all the tea in China it would seem.
The three-time Ballon D’Or winner reportedly received a mega-bucks offer from an unnamed Chinese Super League Club, believed to be worth £86million a year in wages, but the Portuguese knocked them back and pledged his future to Real Madrid instead, saying that 'there is more to life than money'.
Never one to conform to type, Ronaldo is bucking the recent trend of overseas stars chasing the Yuan and moving to China.
