The request to have Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Premier League again came out of the blue in January of 2024.
Ronaldo left Manchester United in November 2022 after having irreconcilable issues with head coach Erik ten Hag, which led to the termination of Ronaldo’s contract with the club. The veteran striker ultimately made the decision in January 2023 to sign with Al Nassr.
The striker, who is 38 years old, has been playing exceptionally well in recent times in Saudi Arabia. Since his arrival, the striker has scored 24 goals in 24 outings in the Saudi Pro League. The “big bosses” of the club have taken notice of CR7’s play in the Saudi Arabian National Championship, and as a result, they have made it possible for him to play professionally in Europe once again.
El Nacional claims to have obtained information indicating that the English club Newcastle United, which is owned by Al Nassr at the present time, has extended a transfer offer to the captain of the Portuguese national team. The striker who was born in 1985 is still not particularly enthusiastic about this notion, but in the next weeks, he may give it some more thought.
After shelling out a significant amount of money during the summer to acquire Sandro Tonali, the Magpies are eager to strengthen their team by signing a few superstar free agents. They will feel much more confident after their triumph over Paris Saint-Germain by a score of 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League.
In light of the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing exceptionally well in the Saudi Pro League, the great Portuguese player will feel as though he is entitled to play against more skilled opponents. In spite of the fact that many of the best players in Europe have relocated to this country, Ronaldo might still feel the need for a more difficult test.
Since he left Manchester United, it appears that Ronaldo has closed the door on the possibility of returning to Europe, and it now appears that he will finish his career in Saudi Arabia. Despite transferring to Al Nassr, the striker won practically everything there was to win in Europe and continued to be called up to play for Portugal’s national team.
Ironically, Cristiano Ronaldo’s second debut with Manchester United in 2021 came against the team that is now known as Newcastle United, and he scored two goals against them. Even Nevertheless, Newcastle is a reputable team in English football, and its owners are ambitious; they have expressed interest in recruiting top stars, such as Vinicius Junior. Vinicius Junior is a target of their pursuit.
