So where will Cristiano Ronaldo play? It was reported in the Spanish media in recent days that the 37-year-old striker, who was released from Manchester United, concluded all his terms with the Saudi Al Nasser group. The world of football was like a concoction, and fans all over the world were amazed at the surprising move – of one of the greatest players in the world to the Saudi League.
But will the transition really happen? At least outwardly, Ronaldo issued a denial – in the simplest form. At the end of the game last night (Tuesday), in which Portugal defeated Switzerland 1:6 in the round of 16 of the World Cup, Ronaldo stood in front of the microphones and when asked about the possibility of a move to Al Nasser, he replied: “No, that’s not true.”
Remember, Ronaldo is currently the only player in the World Cup who does not belong to any team. On November 22, Manchester United, whose ranks he signed in August 2021, announced the end of the contract with Ronaldo – among other things, following the interview he conducted with British journalist Piers Morgan, in which he attacked, among other things, coach Eric ten Haag and the club’s management. Now it remains to be seen what the next stop will be – and we will probably know that only after the World Cup.
