CR7: A representative of Al-Nassr finally speaks

While the major championships will resume very soon, Cristiano Ronaldo is still looking for his next challenge. The track leading to the Saudi stable of Al-Nassr nevertheless seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

After a long break linked to the World Cup in Qatar, Manchester United will return to the Premier League grounds this Tuesday, December 27 with the reception of Nottingham Forest. It will be for the Reds Devils the first game since the sensational departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. On November 22, the Mancunian club had indeed announced that the adventure of the Portuguese came to an abrupt end after his sensational interview granted to Piers Morgan.

For the fivefold Ballon d’Or, however, the future remains as hazy as ever. After a lackluster 2022 World Cup with Portugal, CR7 is still looking for its new team. Among the possibilities mentioned, the Saudi club of Al-Nassr was mentioned on many occasions. This candidate would indeed be ready to offer a colossal salary to Cristiano Ronaldo for the case to succeed.

“The future will be revealed in due time”

In an interview published by Flashscore, the sporting director of this Riyadh-based team has half-heartedly confirmed the existence of an interest in the former Real Madrid star. “Let’s wait and see how things go until the end of the year. As you can see, this is a negotiation of enormous magnitude, not only for the club, but for the country and for world football, and which must be carried out by higher bodies”thus advanced Marcelo Salazar in a very measured way.

The Portuguese, however, did not hide his admiration for his compatriot in the rest of the interview. “He has always been an example for me as a player, for the will he shows to win. And then, as a Portuguese citizen, I have always supported him. The future will be revealed in due time”continued Marcelo Salazar with our colleagues.
